An epic forces air crew quote

[grumpy52]

Just read on the Dull mans Face ache site .
They were talking about commemorative whiskey for aircraft types as they go into retirement. Mainly about the Buccaneers,and there famous low level antics .
One made me chuckle, I have a Jaguar Whisky that sits on the bottom shelf ,the Buccaneer always seems to get under it !
The other often quoted one is
Flying procedure for the Buccaneer.
Throttle up ,lift off ,raise landing gear ,drop to operating height.
Landing, climb enough to raise landing gear and clear perimeter fence ,land aircraft.
Different times!

Take offs are optional.
Landings are compulsory.

Lowering it would extend airframe life...
