Caption contest - 25 May · 03:45 PM

The contest will run from May 25 through Jun 1 2021.

NB: VOTE ("like") FOR SOMEONE WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE AN ENTRANT....!!

Submissions can be in any written form (no video or audio files) — caption, limerick, motivational, poem or prose — whatever inspires you to describe the photo or catch attention. Submit by replying to the thread. Contestants may submit more than one entry but it must be in a separate post. Important: Even if you do not submit an entry, please “like” any posts you feel deserve it as this is how the winner is chosen. And if you DO submit an entry, please also find an entry that you like from among your competitors' efforts and "like" that one as well.

The "thread starter" is the moderator and must post an original photo at the start of the thread. In case of a tie the moderator will choose one to break the tie. After determination of the contest's winner, that winner will be notified ASAP after by the current Thread Starter/Contest Host and will become responsible for posting the next original work to be captioned. Enter often, vote more often. and most important: Have fun !

When someone asks to fly your plane, just say no.

Who would have guessed the Accident Prevention Branch looked like this?

Any landing you walk away from is a good one.

So that’s what that button does….

Although humans have successfully learnt from birds how to fly, they're still working on their tree landings.

Yet another 9 year old's dream of becoming a pilot when he grows up is dashed......

I'll close this one in a few more hours, so get those last few likes in.

And then I'll reveal the real story behind the photo

**MSL** · 06-01-2021, 04:36 PM

Before anyone votes and creates a tie, I'll draw this to a close and declare SpecialK the winner.

Now for the backstory: The plane does (well did...) belong to my son, but the crash in question was likely due to his piloting errors. However, his memories of the day have less to do with the plane, and more to do with his claims of my trying to decapitate him with a boomerang, which is what I was playing with at the time. I don't recall any intentions in the errant throw that perhaps got a little too close to him, but unless his plane in the tree, the boomerang did not make contact.

Thanks for the votes.

Here's the new one.
