SDS Lumber site: If your toy pilot lost it's head at the this Hood River flying site, It is in safe keeping. If you can describe it,I'll mail it to you.

Ahh, that's the sunburst-helmeted cranium of Flight Left-tinnant Behind, lost during last night's combat session. His dH 108 Swallow made a safe landing with the canopy flipped up 90 degrees- an excellent speed-brake. Keep him in case you need a scale pilot- I'll make another. Conditions at sunset made it almost too beautiful to watch your plane. What a fine evening.

Mmmmm .... Reminds me of one of my personal philosophies of life:

I'd much rather run around like a headless chicken than lay around like a chickenless head.

I'm at the point in my life where I'd take the frontal lobotomy

and a nice greasy pork sandwich served up in a dirty ashtray

I don't know about you all but the thread title disturbed me. Even with the word "toy" in it

Hehehe. The thread title should have been "Severed head found at Hood River flying site." That woulda got everyones attention.

Tom,

You got me thinking again about the time I was investigating this guy and he told me someone gave him a "sign" they wanted him dead. Where's the proof I asked. A few days later he brought me the proof....a guys skull with two bullet holes in it and flesh eating bugs to boot. Had a tough time explaining to the wife why homocide was at the house that evening asking me a million questions....

did you forget to insert the "toy" somewhere in that story?

please?

And to think that these are some of the guys that I fly with.

No toy unfortunately... The head ended up belonging to a 30-40 yr old guy that was missing for about 6 months...they had found the body, just not the head.

I thought about the tile of this tread, but I did not want to get to crazy since it is to far away from Hollween.

Fly safe, stay safe!

Thanks for sharing, Vic. NOT!

His name was Roland.
He was a Thompson Gunner.

This is getting dark. I know the thought of decapitation gives one the gollywobbles, but still,... Vic, how do you, you know, sleep? To lighten up I submit Mike the Headless Chicken who continued on for some time, even taking some SHORT FLIGHTS i believe. You can look it up,...

I'd rather go home with a waitress, the way I always do.
