I have to admit I WAS looking forward to being a Pirate, but when DeepBlueWolf started talking about making our sub more of a plane and less of a sub I started looking for the Dramamine. He is/was our "skipper" but he's talking about doing immelman's and barrel-rolls and all kinds of areonautical evavise manuvers in our sub!! Maybe we should mutiny?? Shhhh. don't let DBW hear that, he'll have me keel-hauled!

Not all that a rediculous idea, actually (sub piracy not hanging pirates).Originally posted by jlf1961:
Forget the pirate idea with the sub, I was informed that they still hang pirates.
Frank Sinatra did a movie with that concept back in '65 called "Assualt On A Queen". Seem like Frank & Co. found a sunken German U-Boat, refloated it, refit it, repaired the torps, then used it to hold up the Queen Mary.
It would have worked, but (ta-da!) Coast Guard to the rescue!
Ever wonder where the 'famous' Coast Guard Stripe came from? When they were filming 'Assault On A Queen', Frank thought the CG Cutter (USCGC Minitaunka) looked kinda 'plain'. "Paint a stripe on it, make it pretty," he said. So they did, and filmed the scene, stripe and all (about 30 seconds film time).
Anyway, the Big Cheeze CG Admiral saw the pic when it was released, and went absolutly NUTZ! "Gotta have THAT!," said the Admiral. And so, ALL Coast Guard Cutters have had the red, white and blue diagonal stripe ever since.
And I should know . . . I was there!

Here's a mental image that will burn itself into your brain, Lane standing next to Deepblue going "Boss, the plane, the plane".
Now, what are the chances that we can become an independent country? We could open up a series of bars around the world and declare them embassies, thereby eliminating all of the nasty rules, laws and taxes that normally encumber such establishments. The embassy staff would have to be able to pass a tough physical (I'm thinking Hooters), and back on the island we could put all of those out of work Bay Watch actresses to work protecting the beach.
I'm good with using the C-130. They use them as Hurricane hunters without modification, it wouldn't take long to convert it back and forth from carrying passengers to cargo. There's even a tanker version so we can bring in fuel.
I would like to keep the pirate option open though, I did go out and buy the knee high boats and all of those silk shirts.

I hope Lane wouldnt be telling that to DBW, otherwise, who is up in the plane?!?!
If we make the islands an independent country, we could use the submarine for patrols....confiscate "contraband" from passing ships...like alcoholSince it would be part of our "navy", it technically wouldnt be pirating....it would be coast guarding

vietvettwo; I like your ideas, especially the "physical" the waitresses would have to take. They would all have to dress like MamaSon too, you know, split all the way up to...
Anyway, I'm sure that DeepBlue would want to be the President, Mayor, Dictator...whatever and i'm sure he would want to name the place, "The United State of Skywalker"...

well i think that the fumes of the C4 and Semptex have gone straight to Jlf's head...he's starting to make sence
I totaly aprove of the name for the island..."THE UNITED STATE OF SKY WALKER"...and i think i could contribute a lot flying the tourists around.
Imagine this: Hurricane Flights
this is a thing of beauty, people would pay a lot of money for that, so i would fly them RIGHT into the eye of the hurricane and then as a special thrill i could fly around the Swirll...wing down, full throtlle, flying with the wind in concentric circles faster and faster....going down in ever smaler turns almost to the ground and then a swoopinp vertical pull up and a vertical tail loss over the eye of the storm with a leveling manouver at 300 feet and a couple of down wing turns around the vortex for good measure so that everyone on board the C130 could enjoy the view and the positive G's ( +- 9 give or take a few)
wouldnt it be something
Ohhh and i of course would voluteer myself for the "personality" ( o Y o ) exam of all those poor unenployed baywatch life guards...the male ones of course i would live to you guys.
OHHHand an idea has just ocured to me...
how about when I ferry the clients in on the C130 i come in cliping the waves, at full throtlle, and climb vertical as soon as we are feet dry, followed by a vertical himmelman and a inverted fly by of the facilities at a safe altitude of course, 100 feet would do it, so that our clients can have a better view of the complex

Well, by doing all that you will definately give our LCM tours great business
