    Well, he was flying a plane and hasn't been heard of so presumably he's
    down somewhere.

    A public service announcement.

    Normally he's up for a long time though? To be down within 24hrs would be
    out of character?

  3. A landing you can walk away from is nothing to be down about.

    Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
    river cleaned out in a day.

    Better down here wishing you were up there than up there wishing you
    were down here...

    Better up there in one piece than down here in two.

    Quote from a Sea Harrier pilot..

  9. I hope so. Unstable 15yr-olds are a pain in the arse.

    I'm surprised he's not been found yet.

    So, just *how close* was he flying to Area 51?

    Don't worry, eventually the IRS will start looking.

    Apparently the searches have searched some 15,000 sq miles. so he's not on
    Area 51's doorstep. I bet he has a key to the door there though.

    Now they're using Google Earth! Blimey, that stable girl must have thighs.

    They may find him in about 6 years then. I don't think Google Earth updates
    *that* quickly it'd be useful.

  20. Reading the article, it seems GE have distributed new sat pics to folks
    who are scanning them for downed planes. Not going to find anything of
    stable lasses in barns though.
