Let the Public Paint Your Aircraft
Saturday, December 8th, 2007With all of the horrendous liveries we’ve seen over the past years, I was curious to see what the aviation enthusiasts could come up with.

AE Caption Contest - Mating Airplanes
Friday, September 28th, 2007I’ve pined over this photo for quite some time, and the best I could come up with was “Practice safe sex - always check the base to final turn.” Chances are you all will have a much better caption than I’d ever come up with, so I’m opening it up to suggestions.
