Blanket drill...Some of these will be wild guesses!<br /><br />Blanket drill - Sleeping in<br />Chinese landing - (this one I've heard!) wild landing 'wun wing lo' ;)<br />Flying the iron beam - I was thinking either I follow roads or, given the iron beam, railroads?<br />French landing - aborted landing, go around (surrender?)<br />Geese - enemy aircraft<br />Laying eggs - easy, dropping bombs<br />Pulpit - what else is a pilot's pulpit?! The cockpit!<br />Roll up your flaps - packing up?<br />Rug dance - thinking akin to 'Top Gun scene, in the CO's office, getting chewed out and you're shuffling your feet on the rug?<br />Shot down in flames - getting shot down would be too easy a guess for this one. Stood up, or rejected by the opposite sex?<br />Sugar report - sugar coated flight report?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-7569804712889149882011-11-10T12:57:22.540-08:002011-11-10T12:57:22.540-08:00Chinese Landing: A landing that could be measured ...Chinese Landing: A landing that could be measured by the richter scale?<br /><br />Flying The Iron Beam: IFR = I Follow Railroads?<br /><br />Laying Eggs: Bombs away?<br /><br />Well..this is very interesting! looking forward to the answers..

Geese might be planes, I think laying eggs is having kids...and I don't know the rest of them.
