Country:  | there's always a lot of stories of people working in hangars and being really shocked when lightenings buzz the airfields, it even made a guy fall off the wing of a vulcan once, because he was so shocked, i can't remember what injuries he hobbled away with, i remember something was broken though..............

Country:  | You know you're addicted to aviation when:
1.) You start acting out fighter scenes with your office supplies while at work.
2.) Your bedroom is covered with picture of P-51's, P-47's, P-38's, Spitfires, etc.
3.) If your mom had to wave you off to go to school.
4.) While eveybody else was making simple paper airplanes in 1st grade, you were making Huricanes complete with a rotating propeller.
So?
