Yes, definitely not being serious… just a jibe that they would use to stirr up the Yanks, as Aussies typically do 
Indeed I do…
I happen regularly. 
In Vietnam my Uncles first thing he’d look up where the yanks are and steer clear of them.
In seriousness he did go in and rescue 2x CIA agents that were being held captive. Got em out, busted tank heavy RPG fire, called in the Huey Cobra to lay down suppression as they exfil. It’s documented in a book.
It’s interesting to talk about it for me, bit hard for him I know but he’s still switched on no disabilities no ptsd or anything. Maybe getting a bit old but that’s inevitable.
Both Uncle’s and my old man all have their different stories and incidents involving the Yanks.
My uncle from my Mum’s side was a Huey Pilot and had great fun scaring the shit out of any poor Americans who lost the toss and ended up having to ride with him, because he flew those big birds like he was riding a 200cc two stroke Trail Bike
I think I told you about some of his adventures when he got back after the War, flying Lang Hancock through the Pilbara/Kimberly looking for Iron Ore Deposits, then flying TV reporters around for a few years, flying for the Government doing Buffalo/Pig/Donkey Culling contracts and eventually retiring after a bit of Mustering work in the Northwest/NT.
No I remember something about mustering sort of 
I dunno been that busy lately surprised I remember my own name 
Victoria has to be the worst State in Australia to live in 
Damn that is nearly about my level of fks.
What brain dead polly brought that in. That is a joke.
Sorry pull my unregistered tractor up on my private property and you can starve ya c***s
For civvies that don’t understand, this is a bit of showcase of what’s involved just to get going to cart your bum around
You watch that for the start procedure…right…
The blue eyed dutch chick, is very yummy…!!

Better call engineering…!
Well just thought I’d put it up as she’s better looking.
I couldn’t be in the cockpit with her as houston we are definitely crashing.
I dunno hit the wrong flap lever. Not enough thrust.
Cheers for that mate
I was down the shed the other day and stubbed my toe on a random 737 Jet Engine sitting in the corner, so tried to fire it up, but after a dozen or so pulls on the rip cord I just gave up 
After watching this video, I’ll get back down the shed and give it another crack.
If it starts and runs, then I’ll be able to put it on Gumtree as a running engine only driven to church on Sundays by an elderly owner 
HAHAHAHA ok you did it spat my drink out
God save us if we ever meet. There will be a big glow and nevermind your axis shift.
That was funny I’ll be giggling for 10mins now.
Oh hang on a minute. Do what the yanks do…
I know wads wrong wid it aint got no gas…
See if that works
I keep telling my sister that when we do take off on our lap around Oz this year…be prepared that brother Bob will be stopping in to see different people in a few different States, and we might be delayed from our schedule for quite some time
I’ve got it into my head to take the missus on a road trip / camping trip to Memory Cove in SA one day soon.
Stayed overnight there as a 15 year old when I put in a one week stint on a Port Lincoln cray boat… man, what a place. Crays, beers and shark fillets on the beach, all to ourselves, paradise. Great memories and it’s still undeveloped and unspoiled even if you do now need a permit to camp there… small price to pay though for the experience.
Always planned on going back… might end up half a century between drinks but it’s the one thing on my bucketlist that I’m 100% committed to doing.
Might drop in on Maiphut for a beer or two on the way there.
