I love the paint job on those planes. That's a pretty cool thing to do.

As to the text, I read those attributed to several different airlines. I wonder if any of them are true.
I was thinking the same thing and All I can say is:

"Oh I hope so. . . "

For example. . .I doubt the little old lady said, "were we shot down". but it makes for a great little quip.

Shouldn't that be Ur_anus? I was dismayed the other day to hear a BBC announcer pronounce Uranus the American way, with the emphasis on the 'U'.

From what I've seen, the surface of Uranus is also quite rocky.

You know when Sir William Herschel discovered the 7th planet in 1781 it took all of five minutes after presenting his paper for his colleagues to start make UrAnus jokes. The following is an actual overheard conversation at the astroners' champagne reception. . .

Edmund Halley: "I say . . . William! Do you know what planet farts come from! Ur--anus!!! "

Herschel: "Yes. . .quite. .. I've heard that one four times today already"
