I'm pleased I managed to come across two weirdo dogfights this post: a He 177 being shot down by a B-24, and a BV 222 somehow managing to shoot down a B-24 patrol plane

Which is kinda like a normal soldier being taken out because a gigantic fat guy snuck up on him

That was supposed be my joke. That's the reason it "doesn't work" as a humorous euphemism for catching on fire.

Maybe that's exactly what the artificial horizon showed as the dog followed it, which is why he's upside down. Woof!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanwings_Flight_9525

quote:

The crash was deliberately caused by the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, who had previously been treated for suicidal tendencies and declared "unfit to work" by a doctor. Lubitz kept this information from his employer and instead reported for duty. Shortly after reaching cruise altitude and while the captain was momentarily out of the cockpit, he locked the cockpit door and initiated a controlled descent that continued until the aircraft impacted a mountainside.

edit: gently caress, locked out of the cockpit.

That's a good point, my grounds of comparison for that is on a different site, rather than starting at a baseline of goons, and even that gets pretty morbid.

It’s been a while, but wasn’t it a play on the the thread title at the time? Possibly that joke about a fighter pilot saying “watch this” to a big plane and doing some tricks. The other plane flies straight and level while the pilot leaves the cockpit, stretches his legs, and takes a poo poo.

There was definitely some discussion about pooping in airplanes at the time.

I also like the version of that joke where the BUFF pilot tells the Viper "I just shut down an engine".
