Refusing to Fly

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/8115216.stm

A group of passengers refuse to board a plane when told that a plane should be balanced when flying.

What the story fails to state is that they were all avionic engineer.. oh, no they weren't? They were all physics profess... no? They were all pilots? No?

Ah ain't getting on no dahm pe-lane.

Silly pilot. Planes go faster when all the weight is in the nose. Ask any boy racer - you have to put the back seats down in your Saxo for best performance.
