A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A POTOMAC PILOT

"Attack wing, this is Pinball"
"Alpha here"

"Alpha, your target bearing 220,"
"One-two miles from bulls-eye"
"Angels zero one-five."

"Alpha confirms target identified,"

"Alpha, you are authorized to engage"
"Authorization foxtrot foxtrot zulu,"
"Repeat, foxtrot foxtrot zulu"

"Pinbal, roger, engaging target,"
"Weapons hot, fox two, ...target down"

"Alpha, break left bearing 180"
"Resume track"

"Skymaster N86121,"
"You are cleared into Potomac,"
"Welcome back, and have a nice day..."

Regulatory Flexibility Act

Executive Order 13272

On hold, waiting for
'a Government agency' to pickup

A friend tells me a funny story
about my concealed carry permit

Taking a few minutes to relax

Normally there is no delay
getting a clearance

Friends tell me some people find my sense of humor a bit 'eccentric'...

NOTAM

12/12/4587

Part 1

All Pilots and aircraft operating under all FAA regulations evenly divisible by three, and then divisible by two, leaving no remainder greater than four, shall avoid the space described hereafter described in part two, except as excluded under other parts that remain unmentionable.

Part 2

Restricted airspace is defined as the area within the following area: From the great oak tree, take three hundred brisk paces toward the setting sun, until reaching a stone wall. At the stone wall, turn to the right, until directly facing a large mulberry bush. Do not stop at the small mulberry bush, but keep turning until the large mulberry bush is before you. Walk half way to the mulberry bush, and then turn right again, until you see Mrs. O'Grady's cow. Walk to the nose of the cow, turn to the right once more, and then return to your original location. This area is to be avoided.

Part 3

Any pilots crossing into any of the aforementioned area shall be subject to arrest, and all sorts of nasty letters, because we will empty the Nation's Capital if you do, and that will make us look pretty silly, and we don't like that, so we will blame our over-reaction and it will be your fault. Pilots are required to check all available sources of information for the current position of Mrs. O'Grady's cow.

NOTAM 1456/54-2 EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY	Part 1	*All unauthorized* airborne movements within about 15 miles of the Washington VOR/DME will be blasted to little bits.**
	Part 2	To avoid getting blasted to little bits, apply for authorization to operate from Potomac Airfield by grabbing bananas below. Any persons applying for clearance hereby waive all claims to injuries sustained from the clearance process, including but not limited to cigar burns, beatings with a rubber hose, and/or other measures as may be required by various Federal agencies, some of which leave unpleasant yet temporary bruises, and occasionally stain the carpets.
	Part 3	Any terrorists, or would be terrorists applying for clearance at Potomac Airfield shall be required to provide parking for at least two unmarked cars within a convenient walking distance from their places of work and residence.
	Part 4	Have a nice day!
