#6  You guys just go ahead and laugh, but ZimBob has real aeroplanes; Wiki sez so, including the dreaded tuboprop conversion C-47. If that doesn't make you tremble in you boots, then the CASA 212 will.
Better find that bunker to cower in real fast-like or ZimBob will order up an airstrike on your sorry non-reverant arse...
There is no mention if the surviving Air Farce pilots wear the obligatory-chicks-really-dig-them-ascots that the US fly boys do.

#4  Is it just me or is there something a trifle off about a country that can't figure out a distinction between the water supply and their toilets HAS an Air Force?

#3  Times are tough. He's been shot and the farm needs plowing. Perhaps he can order one of his pilots to auger in a nice straight row. Cause farmin' be hard.
