The new hypnotising circle is said to be made, so the circle, and not the aircraft gets hit by bombs.
Love this one the most) Just try to imagine... BTW, really, what this thing for? I mean, this spiralish thing (if I've spelled it correctly)

I guessed that the 'dish' is a radar... But why on the earth they needed this black spiral on it?))) I don't believe that USAF technicians have such vision problems, that they need a huge black spiral to find a dish, placed on the airplane...

It is the aerodynamic housing that houses the radar dish. A large beam antenna is mounted inside the dish. By rotating the dish, the single beam antenna will cover 360 degrees.
The spiral is just for decoration. US Navy crew love decorating their aircraft like this. It also gives a cool effect when flying, and distinguishes the plane from that of other squadrons/carriers. BTW, this particular plane belongs to VAW-123 Screwdogs, currently deployed on the last cruise with the USS Enterprise. They also supported the Gulf of Sidra intervention, and operation Desert Storm.

Glad you liked this one, dave OK, this one is more weird-looking than funny, but it's still an interesting picture! (http://g.diena.lt/02/50/84686f.jpg) Maybe it should go to the 'Guess the aircraft' thread, too?)

Scientists are now trying to let planes give birth to other planes, by making an egg like system to hatch out new planes.

To make the airport more efficient, ATC in San Francisco are pairing aircraft on the same approach when landing. This halves the amount of landings, because each landing is made with two aircraft simultaneously.

The co pilot left his keys in his car, while he went to retrieve them, the captain found it comical to move the plane to a different airport.

The reason you cant see the copilot, is because he is hunched over the controls, puking out all of his bacon and eggs that he had for brekkie because of motion sickness. And he dropped his croissant on the floor.
