If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

In a previous life that involved a blue suit and a silly hat, I was a in the RAF. At the time we had 98,000 personal. Since I left I have watched the RAF disolve down to it's present number, 38,000. The RAF must shed another 5000 and two Tornado Sqd's and the government is talking about a no fly zone over Lybia. The Russians must be laughing themselves silly.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Let's hope laughing is 'all' they are doing.
