A mechanic’s best friend
You all know the saying that airplanes need two things to fly: airspeed and money. Well, I submit to you that duct tape should be included in this list as well! Once, at an airshow, I’ve seen a Russian helicopter (don’t remember if it actually was from Russia or just a Russian type) that definitely would have fallen apart if you had taken all the duct tape away.
love duck tape!!
By the way, everybody, can you please try and post something here? I just installed some new spam protection for the comments yesterday, and I want to see if it works properly. And if you experience problems, please tell us! Thank you!!
Duct tape, wonderfull stuf. We used it in the army all the time keeps tanks together as well!
I thought tuesday and thursday would see new cartoons? this one was published before in good landing.
Sure, I can post somthing…
Well, here in Brazil some big airlines have a policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell”: pilots, don’t ask what the mechanics have done in the last check; mechanics, don’t tell that to the pilots. In fact, I’ve heard this from a senior mechanic of TAM Airlines.
I was once a passenger in a Tu-154 that was held together with duct tape. I was told that it is a common practice with some Russian carriers. Perhaps not just Russian
Not only planes, cars, boats and anything else could be fixed with duct tape!
Thanks everyone! Seems to work! 🙂 Another question while we’re at it: Am I the only one who still gets the distorted old icon of me or Mike as avatar for some posters, even tough I deleted that image from our server? That’s strange…
And Rob: Thanks for buying that book! 🙂 Well, with “new” we mean “not published on our website before”. Sometimes the strips have run in a magazine before, sometimes they’ve been in a book before, sometimes they’re totally new. It’s quite confusing, I have to admit (even for ourselves), but we have to economize a bit with our strips… (heck, if I could make enough money to live of CW alone, I could draw a new strip every day!)
Looks like the old icon for me. I’ve even emptied the browser cache, but it didn’t helped.
Weird thing… Maybe there are some old residual files on the gravatar.com server… I guess I’ll just have to live with that…
Heheh. I’m in the SCA. I couldn’t get through life without duct tape!
It’s like the Force: it has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together!
Hahaha, Summer, that is an awesome analogy!! Do you mind if we quote you? 😀
