If not for the conflict of interest, I'd say my "Runway Ten" strip.  ::banghead::

But seriously, the running joke "Say Altitude" is classic Chuck.

Karl Winters

"Altitude"

"Chuck, is that you?"   ::rofl::

I have been sorely tempted to say exactly that on more than a few occasions!

"Chuck, is that you?" is a classic...

With my flightsimming "background", I have to with this one...

I have my Chuck moments regularly in-sim... and I dread the day when I will have my first one in real flight... probably will be the day of my first solo  ::silly:: ::knockedout::

I think this is cool that this type of contest bring a few new guys into the forum.

There is a few guys having just 1 or 2 posts. If you are one of them, please go to the introduce yourself section and post about you.

Hey guys, I would have to say that my favorite strip so far is the first one that I saw, Comic #196, the one mimicking the MasterCard commercial. As a new pilot I know exactly how Chuck feels. I am just looking for any job in which I don't have to pay to fly.
There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.

Hi all, glad to finally post something here.

My favourite strip is "Why is the “V” longer on one side?" (363) - I always use it to joke with friends when I see flock of duxks in flight :)

Keep up the good work!

I follow Chicken Wings maybe for two or three years... great comic!
And my favorite strip is number 177 (cw0429)
I find it the pinnacle of Chuck's flying skills!

For me it has to be Flight Sim Fun.  Sorry, couldn't locate a strip number but it is 2011-06-09-cw2L0015.jpg

I started flying about the time of the ZX81 flight sim - and stopped some years after to appease my Bank Manager  :'(  Simming has kept me sane(ish) ever since.  I now work for a company that sells pilot equipment and flight sim stuff.  We have one A320 Rated guy working here who loves Chicken Wings but does not realise that he IS Chuck.  He has killed himself the last three times I saw him in a sim.  Once we were officially flight testing a full motion machine as ordered by the big boss (real hardship that  ;DChuck - Sorry Mr B managed to fly down a blind valley near Innsbruck.  You can guess the rest.

Terrain! Terrain! PULL UP!

I have flown into my fair share of blind vallies while VFRin around the Alps in the sim. It was frustrating enough in the PC sim.. wonder how would I be if I were to do that in full motion sim.

LOL. I must admit that I have some Chuck in myself. Most of us probably do. This is why we love the character.

the one where the FAA guy shows up and says "I'm here to help" and then Chuck says "we're happy to see you" and then they both laugh is a classic !!!

Has to be this one as I am somewhat partial to putting stickers and logos on our helicopters and begging forgiveness from PP afterwards...:

<Tapping foot>

come on, it's the weekend, man!  ;)
Stef's out of town today and I was traveling yesterday.

we have to collect all the names entered and assign them numbers so we can roll the dice
Also we want to keep track of all the strips that were mentioned.

What I'm finding interesting so far is that everybody has a different favorite strip. There are only 3 repeats in there . . . .
Not sure what I was expecting but yeah.... interesting.....
