    Flying is for the Birds!​

    These pics were sent by Neil Rooney. Unsure of the source. No further information was supplied.
    The pics are self-explanatory.​

    It seems driving is for the birds too. The following pics were sent by a YF member who prefers to remain anonymous because he was reportedly exceeding 230 kmh when this happened. Damage was reported at 1200 Euros, but the potential tag-lines are priceless...

    ... Foul Play?
    ... Grilled Chicken?
    ... Bumper Sticker?

    Sorry, pre-coffee attempt at humor. My bad.
