In this thread we will post things that just don't really fit anywhere else. I got tired of posting something in the U Laugh U Lose Thread and get, "Where's the funny?"

I know that there are others here that come across WTF stuff and say, "I know there has to be another retard on Arfcom would appreciate this besides me." Well now there is a place for just that...

Points will not be deducted for funny though...

NO FREELOADING

Stuff like this... So I have shown you some of mine - show me some of yours

I did that for a year right out of high school.  Our tallest building was the Bonaventure Hotel at 32 floors.  It did not bother me a bit then.  I could not do it now.

The Story Behind an Unbelievable Photograph

<snip> ...

the very last photograph taken of XG332, in 1962, is deservedly the most famous one. How does someone manage to take a photograph like this? Planning, quick wits and a healthy dose of luck.

Jim Meads is the man who took the picture. He was a professional photographer who lived near the airfield, next door to de Havilland test pilot Bob Sowray.

So, the story goes: Bob Sowray mentioned to Jim Meads that he was going to fly the Lightning that day. When Meads took his kids for a walk, he took his camera along, hoping to get a shot of the plane.

His plan was to take a photograph of the children with the airfield in the background as the Lightning came in to land. They found a good view of the final approach path and waited for the Lightning to return.

As it happened, Bob Sowray didn't fly the Lightning that day. The pilot was George Aird, another test pilot working for De Havilland.

</snip><snip>Whilst carrying out a demonstration flight, there was a fire in the aircraft's reheat zone. Un-burnt fuel in the rear fuselage had been ignited by a small crack in the jet pipe and had weakened the tailplane actuator anchorage. This weakened the tailplane control system which failed with the aircraft at 100 feet on final approach.

The aircraft pitched up violently just as Aird was coming up to land. Aird lost control of the aircraft and ejected.

Luckily, because the nose pitched up he had just enough time to eject.

The tractor driver was 15-year-old Mick Sutterby, who spent that summer working on the airfield. He wasn't posing for the camera. In fact, he was telling the photographer, Jim Mead, to move on, because he shouldn't be there.

Mead saw the plane coming in and the nose pitch up. Then Aird ejected and Mead says he had just enough time to line up the shot as the Lightning came down nose first.

I doubt it's real (no apparent barrel), but it could be one of those weird bootleg South American guns.

Reminds me of a story my dad tells. He says one day in the early to mid 60s he was riding along with his dad mowing the pasture. Fighter jets would practice maneuvers in the area. On this day my dad was watching them and one of the jets just exploded in mid air. My grand dad stopped the tractor looked up and told my dad to look for an orange dot. My dad said they found one and it was a tiny spec. The pilot landed safely about 1/4-1/2 mile down the road from them.
