It's interesting that some hams thought the CW
posting was real, considering the hokey names mentioned. :-)
I think we have been outdone by the below posting
by Collings Foundation. But.... you know there will be some UFO
buffs who will jump for joy over it. :-[
Perry
Granted by a Federal Appropriations Bill:
Collings Foundation receives the worldâ??s only interstellar spacecraft.
Collings Foundation decides to drop the Wings of
Freedom Tour for a totally new flight experience.
We are amazed and proud to announce that the
Collings Foundation has received a fully
restored ? and now flying ? spacecraft from the
Air Force as part of the Federal Appropriations
[]
bill #232Z-22XZ (see picture on the right - Test flight in New England).
At an undisclosed location last week, Senator
XX.XXXXXX and Congressman XXX.XXXXXX made a
joint statement regarding the transfer of this
top-secret spacecraft from federal storage to the Collings Foundation:
â??The United States government has kept this
possession a secret long enough. We feel now is
the right time to expose this technological
treasure. With the expertise long exhibited in
the restoration and operation of many aircraft,
the Collings Foundation is best suited to
receive this extremely rare marvel. This
interstellar spacecraft was originally gifted to
the planet Earth by the Plularians who live on
the planet â??Plxxshipernogenâ?? (Plularian
translation) near the Ursa Major Nebula M98
4192. In Collings possession, we know that this
spacecraft will be well maintained and
accessible to the general public. This craft
will be flying around the world in honor of the
Plularians and all who have sacrificed their
lives in the long journey from Plzzshipernogen to the planet Earth."

At a brief ceremony (undisclosed location) Bob
Collings met with the Plularian Ambassador
'Frank' to receive the craft and best wishes
from the planet Plzzshipernogen (see picture on
the left). The spacecraft was transported to the
Collings Foundationâ??s headquarters by a heavy
transport helicopter on April 1st. The
spacecraft had not flown since it was received
82 years ago. With the sudden absence of
Ambassador Shhnnuurp we were in a quandary on
how to â??turn onâ?? let alone fly this amazing
craft (see early video of spacecraft in flight below).
In a strange turn of events, we recently found
out how to successfully operate and fly this
spacecraft: The Director of Marketingâ??s 14
year old son Colton Chaney was at the CF
facility over the weekend. While work on the
spacecraft was being done, Colton was biding his
time by playing Play Station. As soon as he
started to play Mario Kart the spacecraft
immediately powered up and began to bump into
the walls (see DS unit on left). Amazingly, we
have found that the aircraft can be turned on
and operated via the PS wireless two-player game
mode. Even stranger, this can only be done when
the Mario Kart game is activated! Since Colton
is very well versed in video game-play, it was a
natural move to make him our first test pilot.
Once the Foundation receives the FAA flight
exemption for interstellar flight experiences
and pilot training has been accomplished we will
be offering a variety of flight experience
packages. The FAA is extremely excited about
this new program and said they will immediately
lift the LHFE moratorium and expedite the
exemption petition. We expect to receive
notification of approval from the FAA sometime
in 2045. Flight experience programs will include:
â??The Wrap Aroundâ?? (To the moon and back -
Ten minute flight) $68,500.68 tax-deductible donation.
â??The Touch and Goâ?? (Flight to Mars, land on
the north pole and back) $220,000 tax-deductible donation.
â??MVEMJSUNâ?? (One loop around Mercury, Venus,
Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
? all in one trip) $320,560,000.17 tax-deductible donation.
