what would jesus fly? WWJF

[Airpiraterob]

(todays exercise in wasting time AND promoting constructive thought.)

so to keep on this rhetorric of jesus postings ive noticed on occasion, i thought id bring forth my brand of religion and ask the question of not IF jesus was alive, what would he fly....but...what DOES he fly? (and this covers the both alive and dead and somewhere in between question everyone thinks about....that resolved, on with the question)

Honestly, Jesus would be able to fly anything he wants to, AND fly it anywhere he wants to. So, given that fact, what plane would he fly...AND...where would he fly it to or from?

would Jesus be a Radial engined kind of guy? or would Jesus be a PT-6 or garret king air kind of guy? or would he be a citation-X or Lear 60 guy? i know he could probably fly just in his robes but c'mon. even if i could fly without machines, i'd still try to go fly a PBY catalina. how could he not resist?....oh wait. he resists temptation......well so much for my argument then. crap, anyway, lets say that he WANTS to fly SOMETHING ok?

hes a lover of all things so he would most likely show up flying something with either every known engine in the world on it....or just something different each time he was seen....now this would bring about strange shifts in demographic, i mean....really you'd find king air worshipers in one part of the country, and then some warbird warshipers or Boeing warshipers in another part...all depending on what he was in when he made that appearance....hmmm. intersting. the church of Boeing. or the church of Embraer, or church of Mustangs, etc.

lotsa thought would be brought from this.

so, WWJF-what would jesus fly?

 

[labbats]

I think it'd be cool if he resurrected some cool old airplane back to its original beauty and tooled around the country in that. The spruce goose maybe.

 

[B1900DFO]

I think he would be a 757 check airman at HOOTERS air.

 

[kevdog]

I think he would be in the Guard without a medical.

 

[rumpletumbler]

He would resurrect the Gulfstream Peregrine.

 

[RightPedal]

I think the Master would fly a Maule.

 

[Satan]

a Gulfstream BE1900, since the church is pretty much a PFT gig anyway

 

[labbats]

bwahaha

 

[Cat Driver]

I think he would fly a PBY, because he would not need a raft to get to shore.

He could just shut it down anywhere and just walk to shore..

 

[Satan]

Any attempt to PAY FOR your own sins by your own efforts demonstates a lack of Faith

you don't say? and the catholic church got to where it is today how?

 

[ATL2CDG]

Gunfyter:

I beg to differ with you.

From the Book of James, chapter 2:

14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Is that your final answer?

I hope you're certain of your historical dates and facts because soon this thread will be descended upon by Biblical scholars to correct any error.

May God save your soul.

Just barely, my friend. I just retired inside after washing the car and walking the dog.

Better luck next time!

[Dubya]

a vain attempt to rescue ......

...this thread.

Jesus would fly a Convair (Consolidated Model 36) B-36

The Peacemaker....duh

W

 

[DC4boy]

I dont know what he would fly, but he built the DC-4!!!!!!!!!

 

[7B2]

My guess would be a Pietenpol.

Because He is just like us a common man. (That's what they've tried to beat into me at least)

"Bernard Pietenpol never lost sight of the cost of flying and showed his true genius in keeping it down - within reach of the common man"

 

[Airpiraterob]

7B2,
i think youre on to something there.....

wouldnt it be a simple common man sort of airplane? something made out of wood? perhaps a bellanca of some sort or a curtiss jenny?

 

[7B2]

i think youre on to something there.....

Nahh, just waiting for beer o'clock to arrive....

 

[Timebuilder]

I imagine He'd fly anything He wanted to.

Maybe a Stearman, or a Staggerwing, if He were to ask me. There's a certain romance in having more than one wing.

I had stayed away from this thread, since it was blatant flame bait. Good to see the Bible being clearly explained, though.

Faith is the complete method of salvation. No additional pennace, attendance, confession (after the initial one) or other "act" is required.

Following faith, we are exhorted to acts as an obedience to God.

 

[fly2002]

hm..my vote is for the J-3 cub ....probably flys a lot around sunset...but always manages to land before night

 

[Jmmccutc]

I'm gonna cover alot here...

Jesus...F-16
GOD (The Father)...C-5
Holy Spirit...PA-25
Arc Angels...F-15's
Satan...Pitts S2S

I'm going with the fact that Jesus would fly some beat up old freighter. The bible seems to portray the guy as a very humble person, so my first thought would be that he'd fly a DC-3. But then I realized that the DC-3 is an aircraft that is revered for it's ability to seemingly handle anything that is thrown at it. This is not a very humble aircraft for the son of god to ride around in. The DC-8 would be my next choice. I personally want to fly one of those for the rest of my life, but since God seems to do everything possible to prevent that from becoming a reality I figure he hates the mighty 8's for some reason. Surely the big guy himself wouldn't allow his only son to pilot an aircraft that he hates, so the DC-8 is out.
My final conclusion is that Jesus would be the pilot of one of the three following aircraft.....missing all of the seats of course:
1) The Metro.......no further explanation needed.........
2) The MU-2........only God himself can create something so strange, yet so facinating to try and fly.
3) The EMB-110.......only because it is a aircraft that I'm hoping to fly someday, yet many people don't even know what it is. That makes it all the cooler, and we all know that Jesus is humble, but not un-cool.............................

 

[urflyingme?!]

Zepplin... Duh

He'd also rock out in a VW Van all acros the usa, takin goofy pictures and meeting new people. An example would be eating lunch with a family of tourists from chicago, at the world's largest thermometer in California, half way between Vegas and LA.
He would also be a gun lover... Why? Because who wouldnt want to see Jesus holdin a .357 Magnum!
I think he'd also have a show similiar to the gong show, except he'd have really talented people do stuff, then totally outdo them, while eating a sandwhich or something just to rub it in.

Ohh and PS all u naysayers, Christianity isnt about the people, its about Jesus. The whole concept is how we're all messed up and we NEED forgiveness! If we were so freaking great we wouldnt' NEED Jesus, we would BE Jesus! OK?

 

[JimNtexas]

Didn't Richard Bach go barnstorming with Jesus?

If I recall correctly, Jesus flew a TravelAir biplane that never leaked oil.

 

[Typhoon1244]

Wouldn't Christ fly a Christen Eagle?

 

[Flyin Tony]

A Comanche 250

 

[Timebuilder]

Satan...Pitts S2S

You still can't forget that airplane, can you?

Heck, if I'd had one, I wouldn't be able to forget it either.

 

[Joseph II]

Cessna 152

VFR only Cessna 152 probably a beat up trainer with warn out seats and faded paint.

My guess is He would spend part of His time instructing in it, the other takng non-pilots up to show them His creation from above.

Worst case He would upgrade to a 180 hp C172 if our Lord came to Denver to train. 182 of course if going over the rocks.

Seriouslly though, He would choose an aircraft that is simple, small, and easy to fly.
