Welcome to This Is Your Captain Speaking, sometimes abbreviated to "Your Captain Speaking", sometimes abbreviated to "YCS" (pronounced yikes).

   If you can't stand behind our soldiers, feel free to stand in front of them.                 Over the Pacific at about 40 North, 160 East

   You'll want to stand and salute for this one. Happy 4th, everybody!

Win a Helicopter!

Find herein an accumulation of all sorts of aviation humor and things having to do with the business of flying airplanes. Why is aviation humor different from any other kind of humor? If you think about it, the very idea of hurling a huge contraption made mostly of metal into the air and expecting it to stay there is pretty funny. Enjoy.

Your Captain Squawking

It’s Just Gas

I feel a lot better about myself now. And these days feeling good about one’s self is all-important.

You see, I read, studied, researched, and seriously cogitated. And now I feel better. Not because I learned anything or in any way came to some problem-solving conclusion. No, I feel better because I now know that a whole bunch of folks a lot smarter than I am don’t have a clue either.

The price of oil (read that: jet fuel, avgas, and auto go juice) has doubled in the last year, gone up by about a third in the last few months. Big questions: Why? And who profits? (more)
