Something Onion-worthy from Finland
Did they at least get to… finnish?
What else would pilots of the world happiest country do?
The pilots the entire time they were getting yelled at:
let’s see, air force pilots are captains and lieutenants here (yes i read it was cadets doing the flying), so it’s either a captain or a colonel doing the yelling. and this is what they looked like:
“Yer a loose cannon!”
“Just the kind of pilot we need!”
Sounds like someone really is an eager eagle
Wat is that from?
Rick & Morty.
Who is it
Birdperson
What are they saying
“In bird culture, this is considered a dick move”
With what kind of inflection?
A Rick and morty Episode, which one idk rn
The horror.
I guess that’s what happens when you have conscription and no war
I’ve drawn these with ships numerous times. It was my usual test-pattern when calibrating magnetic compasses and testing the autopilot.
And it’s not entirely without logic either; The calibration and testing usually goes like this:
- A few circles to calibrate the compas, teaching it how the full 360 azimuth looks from a magnetic perspective, taking its own magnetic environment into account.
- Straight line, checking that the heading matches the course
- Turn 180 degrees and repeat to verify that it also holds true in the opposite direction
- At this point, you might as well draw the other testicle too
Yeah, that was my thought. In order to draw these, the pilots needed to demonstrate precise control of their vehicles. Fucking pearl clutchers, I hope disciplinary action was only mentioned to appease them, though wish they’d just give a “who fucking cares?” response instead.
Sticking to a flight plan like that means you are successfully trained in that airframe, I see this as a positive check flight
The cadets from the middle picture should be given promotions. That’s some slick flying right there.
Looked like Homer Simpson below the wiener too.
That looks like a long, hard, throbbing, standard holding pattern
JOHNSON! That holding patter looks just like a…
Reprimanded by people stifling giggles
Should be used as training material, the bottom right corner is cut short on these as they turn on that leg, make a more gradual turn using the rudder to round out the shaft base

Can’t help but think of the enivromental devastation of all these “training exercises”.
Russia is next door, seems warranted to me
