So here's your new chance to whip up a caption good enough to wind up fetching you a bacon sandwich at Oshkosh 2011.

Hhhmmmm uphill landing!
Just because they towed a C-46 in a Ford Truck commercial doesn't mean it really works!
1. Well at least we know the brakes work.
2. Good Boy! Once he gets the scent he always leads us to the suspect.
Yoshi tried many other career possibilities after his sumo wrestling days, but aviation was not a good fit!
And we see our hero kissing the ground after another triumphant mission!
I told that pilot to lay off the twinkies and pizza!
Listen kid. If you ever want to make Captain you have to learn that under "weight and balance" you don't put "180lbs" and "Excellent!"
"I said the Pope kisses the ground when he lands. The Pope - not the plane!"
That's not what I meant when I said," make this a three point landing!"
Wow these new bifocals really make the ground seem close enough to touch
We made it back on the ground, OMG, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I Told You.......Just TAP........the Brakes......
Winner of the spot landing contest, flying a DC-3 is...
Next time, hit the damn rabbit!
Another GOOD reason to NOT land with a strong tail wind!
Early attempts at ground level pax entries were not totally successful.
"I think someone forgot to fasten the cargo tie-downs."
Captain, you need to lose a few pounds or fly something with a nose wheel!
As it turns out, the Rutan VariEze gear design works perfectly on the DC-3. Unfortunately, we're not sure what to do about door placement.
Submissions for this Caption Contest are now closed.
The poll for voting should be up tomorrow morning (Thursday 11.18.10) - thanx!
The image is very interest at the same time very unfortunate. I hope such thing will not happen. Well, on the other hand, my entry would be "Getting my nose first".

My entry is "Nose Run". Well, I hope it has Vehicle GPS Units on it.
