THE ADVENTURES OF REX THE WONDER ENGINEER:
THE FLIGHT
After another hour of hopeless confusion the crew is ready to start engines. Joe the
Boomer has vomited 6 more times, Rex has soiled his flying coveralls with somewhat solid
flatus, the AC has embarrased himself repeatedly on the radio, and the creature they call
"copilot" has entered 9 completely wrong waypoints into the INS(yesterdays
flight plan).
23 minutes later Captain Tinkle initiates a smooth 2 second rotation and the airplane
virtually leaps off of the runway into the moist Arkansas sky. "Crew this will be a
non-standard climb pr0file up to three-five", says the boss man....."No shit,
thinks Rex as the overspeed warning sounds intermittently....the landing lights tear off
as the airplane accellerates through 390 KIAS and Rex unstraps to go to the latrine to
sqeeze off another boom operator. Old Joe the Boomer snores happily in the red seats while
the passengers rummage around looking for their lunches. Everything is normal. The FE
panels flies itself as Rex reads the morning paper, cheeks a-flexin, giving birth to
another Texan.
At 25000 feet, the cabin diff reaches the limit, since numb-nuts Rex left the
pressurization mode in "ignore" and several passengers are screaming with pain
and fear. This wakes up Joe the Boomer, who is startled to find that he's been asleep for
45 minutes with his mouth wide open and his hand around his tool. "Shut up SHUT
UP!!!!" Joe is screaming into the PA microphone "Everybody sit down and shut
up!!!!" He runs up to the cockpit and begins to beat on Rex's head with the hot cup.
The cabin rate of climb is 4000FPM and the copilots eardrum tissues are actually
protruding from his ears. Rex doesn't notice anything really since his eardrums were
destroyed by syphillis back in the Clark days but his head is beginning to hurt from being
bonked with the fucking HOT CUP....."AAAAHHHHH. YOU FUCKING SHITSTAIN!!!!!"Rex
grabs his 5 cell maglight and bounces it off of Joes head, slinging gobs of Vitalis all
over the cockpit, and propelling Joe into the cabin where he collides with a brain-dead
crew chief from North Carolina; they then both fall to the deck with Joe puking and
shitting himself in full view of 12 astonished and hungry space-A hobos.
While this situation is unfolding in the cabin, the big three-holer is shooting through
35,000 feet like the fucking space shuttle. The creature called copilot suddenly realizes
that he is totally alone in the cockpit, the AC having gone to the baggage pallet to
retrieve his new copy of Golf Digest, and the FE, good old Rex, is back in the cabin
furiously kicking Joe the Boomer in the buttocks, whilst the passengers hoot with glee and
munch their soggy horse-cock sandwitches.
Our new hero, copilot, he of the puke stained helmet bag, former skywarrior of the T-1
world, initiates a minus one G pushover and all occupants of the airplane, except for
Copilot the magnificent, who somehow remembered to fasten his seat belt before takeoff,
are now on the ceiling, plastered there amidst barf, coffee, ASIF snacks, and Rex and Joe
have finally quit beating on each other.
After 6 violent pitch oscillations, ranging in intensity from minus 2 to 6 positive Gs,
the intrepid Lieutenant brings the rogue jet under some semblance of control and engages
good old George, the enlisted flyer's best friend. Joe the Boomer is back in a red seat a
few minutes later, snoring peacefully, once again, and the Space-A hobos are going back to
their poker game. Captain Tinkle is desperately wiping hot coffee away from his face and
groin area, and Rex is preparing a can of VanKamps Beenie Weenies for consumption. All is
well again.
