Oh stop all this killing talk, take a look at this.

testing? Just trying to imagine the excuse used by this hot shot. If you do not know VTO stands for Vertical Take-Off.

Balls or no brains - your call. You know the old truth about fighter pilots, "You can tell a fighter pilot but you can't tell them much!"


Wonder what the ship captain had to say to this pilot?

Probably something similar to what my Dad's uncle heard when he did an unauthorised flyby past a tower in a CF104. :D
Neat vidclip, though.
