Then you have an older version of windows. Perhaps an upgrade would be in order :wink:

In this case you are going to have to use a photo editing application like photoshop

The story
It happened about 7 years ago.It was a private homemade strip on a farm near Tolwe.The pilot landed there to load the farmer as his pax to count game on the farm.The trike was used for training and was in a good condition.
When the pilot took off, he realised that the strip was too short to takeoff with the exrta weight.He took his foot off the accelerator and start to brake,but the trike just went faster and faster.The front wheel just start to hop and there was the trees....
The pilot and pax survived with minor injuries.When the farmers wife ask him what happened,he said"I saw that the runway was short,so I also stepped on the throttle at the back,but it did not help."
I now dont take pax if there is a throttle for them to step on.

I do not often write something but i make sure i read this forum every moring. I know the other stuff is nessesary and informative but the funny stories that comes out every now and then does it for me. I find the humour more that often makes my day.Couple of frydays ago the joke with the train and the AUSSIE cracked me up and made my day so did this one today. Thanks

Had throttle cable stick wide open on me once. Not a nice feeling.
