  1. Cotter: Ha! Ha! I have been told BF shape shift, wink in and out of our universe, travel on UFO's, and mind speak but this is the first time I have heard the claim that they poop shift too!

  2. You got that completely wrong. I was a functional test pilot in the USAF on two different aircraft. I would fly the aircraft after major maintenance. They did not want an inexperienced pilot to fly an airplane that might have major stuff not work. That was pretty cool. Even used different check lists and did a test profile to check out major functions that could only be checked while the aircraft was flying. In the T-38 we would do a burner climb to about 35,000 feet. Push the nose over and go supersonic to check for flight control problems or supersonic fire lights which were very common. Then go into a test area, do full stalls, to check the wing rock in a stall, make sure it would not flop over on its back, shut an engine down then relight it. Shut the other engine down and relight it. Go inverted and pull negative G's to make loose stuff fall out of all the nooks and crannies. Was amazing what would fall out and you had to grab that was floating around. You could not pull negative G's very long as the oil system did not work inverted, and the engine would have problems. I cannot remember what else we did. But the most fun you can have with your clothes on, is fly an airplane that has never left the ground before. Did that with my own airplane that I also built. For a pilot, that is pretty close to a lunar landing in excitement. I suppose there is something similar for a hunter with big game. Dangerous game comes to mind.
