Caption Contest #69 - Ends Wednesday 2.22.12 At 9PM EST

I was reminiscing over the weekend about some rather amazing experiences I had when I 20 years old and younger... I have three different historic Tri-Motor aircraft that I was able to travel cross country in... and two of them I actually have extended hours of dual received in my logbooks! First it was N414H, the 1929 Ford Tri-Motor that was owned by Chuck LeMaster in Kansas back in the 70's. Then it was N7501V, one of only two Bushmaster 2000's (modernized Ford Tri-Motors from the 60's), owned by Chuck in the late 70's. And then in 1981, I made the trip from Illinois to Sun-n-Fun and back in the world's only Stinson Model A Tri-Motor (N15165) rebuilt and owned at the time by Gene Coppock. Those were some incredible experiences! (more details on all that another day)
Well, the point here is that I figured we should have a Caption Contest that pays tribute to the good ole tri-motor! And the best part is that the winner will snag a bacon sandwich at OSH12!
So, you've got til Wednesday evening at 9pm EST to submit your clever/funny/cool captions. Then, I’ll pick the best 5 and put ’em in a poll for everyone to vote on for all day Thursday and Friday so we can find the winner.
