Kliban's Cats by B. Kliban for September 23, 2014

I regret that I have but nine lives to give to my country. -A coward dies a thousand deaths; the brave cat, but nine.

He will be dropping hairballs on the enemy.

I’d cry too if someone turned my cat into an airplane…

“Into the a distance a ribbon of black”“Stretched to the point of no turning back”In the case of an aborted take off, the crash zone is kitty litter.She should beware of "tail"wash.

Watch our for that crosswind on takeoff. Right wing down a bit and a little left rudder. Once you are off the ground, crab into the wind until your track is straight down the runway, then hold that heading until clear of the airport.

Ah, the runway at Kitty Hawk.

yay more happy cat cartoons! (thx)

Interesting winds at this airport. In the distance, the wind is blowing from right to left. (Note the banner on the tower.) In the foreground, the wind is blowing from left to right. (Note the woman’s hair.)

Notice the elephant sized cat that’s a biplane.

Here’s looking at you kid.
