In some poorer countries, where expensive electric tugs are a luxury, they use zebras. The zebras lose their natural fear of the airplanes, and the worst eventually happens.

Any caption that starts with "dude" is good.

You know, maybe the zebra didn't have anything to do with it. I'll bet the pilot just messed up and didn't want to be found at fault, so he shot the animal and drug the airplane over to it and stood it up like that to make it look good. :roll:

Hey Cubchick welcome aboard, what took you so long? How did the Instrument Checkride go?

Ya just gotta love a good looking gal that flies a Super Cub. :wink:

During preflite inspection, make sure no zebras are hiding in your pitot tube as this can lead to a nasty surprise at liftoff.

Guys, it might not be a zebra, could be a chubby employee of Footlocker.
