Darn, forgot it was April fools day. Was going to say holy cow they are relentless, lol. B-17G was just released yesterday.
 
Why do people feel that Aprils fools jokes are necessary? 99.9% of the time they're not funny. Must be me?!
 
I only find it funny cause the B-17 Accu-sim came out yesterday. Otherwise I might have been upset. Although at least Scott and them didn't decide to wait till today and have a little fun with the B-17 release. :icon_lol:

Yes, and the jokes only apply on US soil, we don't have that here so I wouldn't know what the heck you're trying to joke about...

Actually it's of German origin, going back at least as far as the early 16th century and still alive and kicking over here.
Later swapped over to North America.
 
By the time I went to sea on aircraft carriers (1982), Phantoms were gone from the fleet, except for the USS Midway (CV-41) and Coral Sea (CV-43). But, during fire fighting drills, we used old used up F4s for practice. During one of these practice flight deck fire fighting drills, one old timer said they used to pound potatoes from the galley into the fuel lines into the joint between the wing panels that was broken as a necessity of the folding wing system. Seems the potato made a perfect seal that kept the gas from dribbling down onto the flight deck. Can any of you old Navy Phantom gurus confirm this?
