NFO Joke

[Typhoon1244]

Probably an old joke...but it was new to me.

From www.wardcarroll.com:

THE CANDY MACHINE

Two NFO's happen upon a candy machine filled with prizes. They notice one of the prizes appears to be pilot wings. However, the machine costs 50 cents, and each NFO only has a quarter.

"Tell you what," the NFO says. "We'll each put in a quarter, and then we can take turns wearing the pilot wings."

The second NFO agrees, and each contributes a quarter to the machine. The pilot wings drop into the first NFO's hand, and he puts them on.

"Wow, this feels great!"

"Hey, when is it my turn?"

"Shut up back there."

variation

In the P-3 community, the punch line is, "Shut the f*&k up, Nav!"

 

[spanky2]

Excellent. They could break the wings in half and each would have one...look like the Brit na, na, na, navigators.

Yeah, or a WWII Balloon Pilot: They wore half NAVAL AVIATOR Wings.

one winger

My flight engineer used to call the FO's "one wingers" and said they should get wings like the aerosmith album cover.

Years ago when I was an instructor, one of the best primary students I ever had was a P-3 FE. I only had to demo a maneuver once, and this guy would nail it. Probably the best student I ever saw. (Next to myself of course! ) Anyone know what Chris Rise ended up doing?
