Oldie but a goodie?
Haven’t we had one like this already? Or was I imagining it?
I think failblog had it many moons ago.
It’s also been in Snopes.com’s “Fauxtography” section for a long time
Well, that plane certainly seems to have crashed _someplace_.

The NTSB accident report you’ve found was for a Cessna 150 that crashed in California. The plane in the picture is a Piper Archer, which crashed in Colorado.
Sure they teach you how to land, in a tree. It’s the advanced class, you can ony do it once though.
Daffy Duck reference FTW! (linky)
Awww!! Those were real cartoons. I like the part where he creates the little obstacles for the doves setting each one down very carefully creating suspense, then opens the cage door and they all fly out the window. lol!!
Also the one where Daffy steals all the treasure: “Go go go! Mine mine mine!!”
YOU HAVE ANGERED THE GENIE OF THE LAMP.
Quack!
Today, I feel the need to say “quack.” Why, I do not know…
You’re not about to lay a Scotch egg, are you?
(ducking)
Thanks for the link!

Who’s the flight instructor? Charlie Brown?
Well, it’s reasonably intact and it didn’t catch fire! So that’s a WIN.
But this should really be @ FailBlog.
The sign says “LEARN TO FLY HERE!” not a word about LANDING!
OK, so I’m being redundant…. Here, have an acorn!
This pic was at failblog months ago.
My father flew B-52′s during WWII…he always said, “Any landing you can walk away from is good enough”
In WWII, I think that would be a B-25 – twin prop, double tail, nose gunner? The 52 is Vietnam and later.
You’re right…must’ve been a “Love Shack” kinda thing going on in my head while i was typing.
The whole plane SHIMMIES! :^D
TIIIIIN ROOF!!
…rusted
wtf does this have anything to do with politics? shouldnt this be on failblog or something??
I was thinking the same thing. Political image FAIL.
Unless it is supposed to be related to 9-11 somehow?
or you know because it’s a NEWS item, albeit it an old news item. and this site isn’t strictly for politics, it’s for news too.
Could be a metaphor for the economy….
“Democrat Finacial Policy”?
Umm…who got us into this current mess? Metaphor fail.
No, finacials are like facials, only finer…
Oh man, my mind went WAY further into the gutter than it needed to there.
*wonders what Slan’s mind is doing down here*
P
You, by preference.
Apparently, I’m taking Froo’s advice.

Okay, now all I have to do is turn you into bad guys…
Welcome, Slan! Nice down here, eh?
it could be… however, none of the last page or two of LOLs have had that much intelligence in them. i’d be surprised if this one were that astute. maybe not surprised, more incredulous that an intelligent LOL actually made it to the friont page in this pit of misspelled, grammatically incorrect, mess of LOLs we’ve had lately.
*front
irony WIN
oh i noticed… hence the REALLY quick attempt to fix! but the cause of the misspelling was the stupid comment box cutting off on the right hand side. so while i claim the misspelling, it wasn’t all my fault. that’s my story, and i’m sticking to it.
It’s for news, not just politics.
ohhhh, this one. sooooo overused.
Yes but we’re in a recession and we have to cut back and recycle old ones.
Cleverness WIN!
They don’t teach navigation, either – need GPS to get them to the Failblog.
FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
old but epic fail :>
F*cking mapquest!
LOL. Forgot to tell us this was a dead end street.
curse you altitude…
Mapquest information incomplete. add “turn left here, making sure altitude is at least 45 feet.”
WIN!!
*rolls eyes*
Oh, GREAT!
Now I suppose the flight school will need a bailout!
That’s just great.
This should be on fail
yea, i’ll have to agree with that whole cluster of comments up there^… not impressed with this image as a pundit kitchen image…
New Pundit Kitchen Intern Fail
(pssst – Failblog is over THERE)
For this site, how about…
http://mine.icanhascheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=2760256
WIN!!
I knew I had seen this picture before, and not just on Failblog. It’s also on I Can Has Cheezburger: http://icanhascheezburger.com/2008/05/18/funny-pictures-but-not-over-here/
This pilate actually died. This took place in Chino, CA. He avoided hitting a youth correctional facility filled with children.
I wash my hands of this.
Pontius Pilate is…d-dead??? *sobs uncontrollably*
Fwee Wodewick!
Stwike him, Centuwion, vewy woughly!
The pilot survived. He was practicing take-offs and landings at night when his engine failed due to carburetor icing. He attempted to land on a road near the airport, but was forced to divert at the last minute because of oncoming automobile traffic, and he crashed into the tree. The “learn to fly here” sign was on a different part of the airport and was photoshopped into the picture.
There was an article about it several months ago in AOPA Pilot magazine.
