Who Needs A Runway?
Tonight, one lucky developing-world community will secure its economic future, right here on Who Needs A Runway? | |
Representatives of struggling villages from the
remotest
parts of the globe are invited to compete on a
multiple
choice format quiz show for fabulous prizes, including
crop seeds, livestock, clean drinking water, lifesaving
drugs, and so on. For the grand prize, the producers
arrange for
a paved landing strip to built near the
village, and schedule regular supply deliveries for ten
years.
Contestants in trouble can use one of their three
lifelines: A glass of water, a bowl of rice, or a dose
of
quinine.

Would tend to make fashion shows a bit boring. |
|
|
They can have Ibaraki Airport, $243 million to build and a whole 5 outgoing flights a day... |
|
|
They'll have to collect it, mind you. Ditto Wakkanai airport with 2 regular flights a day, more when the snow melts... |

//Ibaraki Airport, $243 million to build and a whole 5
outgoing flights a day// To be honest, if they can
build any airport for $243 million, I'm not sure I'd
trust it to have all those little details like air traffic
control and baggage handling. Are you sure your m
shouldn't be a b? |

I'm trying to remember the four things that don't do a pilot any good. They are " a runway behind you, altitude above you, airspeed you don't have and" there I forget. |

|
The village then becomes a sweat shop making fashion knockoffs designed by the winners of Project Runway ? |
|
|
That's the way it usually goes, yes. |
|
|
"For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath." (Mark 4:25). |
|
|
Think about that, when you're taking delivery of your third Lamborghini. |
|
|
// air in your fuel tanks // |
|
|
"the runway behind you, the altitude above you, airspeed you don't have, and the fuel in the bowser". |
|
|
"the meat in your inflight meal." |
