Sorry - I can't help myself, it's just that he looks so darn ridiculous in almost every picture taken of him.

1. "This 'first flight' stuff is so boring...
It sure was a lot more fun dressing up in that Top Gun suit and struttin' around under that "Mission Accomplished" banner that Karl--er, those sailors on the Lincoln..yeah, that's it..made!":eyes:

"Who the hell were the 'Right Brothers', anyway?":crazy:

4. It REALLY bothers me that he can't hold his own damn umbrella.
I don't know why. It just bothers me. I mean, REALLY gets me pissed off.
Maybe because it conjures up images of the old colonial White Rajahs that used to get the "natives" to hold umbrellas over their heads wherever they went.

10. The reconstructed aircraft was "primitive", but ...

... smart enough to know when to skid, and drench the prancing pseudopilot.




Is it just my imagination, or did they dress him up in a double-breasted coat made to look like the sort worn by WWI aviators?



Scroll down for this historic illustration of a WWI flying coat.
