“If you’re traveling with a hatchling, be sure to put your own mask on first.”

I guess the pilot doesn’t need oxygen.

I love these briefings. I am not sure what kind of troglodyte doesn’t know how to use a seat belt but there it is.

Once I was on a flight from Phoenix to Yuma. The briefing included the standard “in the event of a water landing.” In the event of a water landing we would have to be about 150 miles off course.

This bird finally has a grip on flying high…

And John, definitely make sure that he’s got a good grip on your shell!

Wow. The turtle has oxygen on board.

That all reminded me of a strange dream I had last night. I was in the yard of my cabin, half naked, gardening with a hoe when I came upon a large turtle. I lifted the turtle with the hoe and let it settle down to the ground. Just then an alligator approached me. With his teeth bared, he moved toward me and I backed up toward the cabin. I turned and ran to the cabin, leaving the gator behind. Either the turtle was his friend or his meal, I couldn’t tell. At least, I wasn’t his meal.

Why O2, wouldn´t O be enough? Or is that an ad for for the concert venue?

Flying on the ground is wrong. – Neil Young

Shut up. You’ll live longer when I drop you.

That’s an orbit-trary remark.

Isn’t he a wingless bird with hairy feathers?

Depends on what he was smoking…

14 CFR § 91.211 – Supplemental oxygen. No person may operate a civil aircraft: (1) At pressure altitudes above 12,500 feet (MSL) up to and including 14,000 feet (MSL) unless the flight crew is provided supplemental oxygen at those altitudes more than 30 minutes duration; (2) At altitudes above 14,000 feet (MSL) unless the flight crew is provided with supplemental oxygen during the entire flight at those altitudes; and(3) At altitudes above 15,000 feet (MSL) unless each occupant of the aircraft is provided with supplemental oxygen.

Some birds (not many) can fly to 20,000 feet without any supplemental oxygen. But not Turtles.

That bird is a whole lot stronger than he looks……

No almonds or pretzels?

Well it’s certainly about time Dookey bird contributes to their symbiotic relationship. It seems like poor John was always the one providing the transportation.

He must be at 10,000 feet to need oxygen – I’m impressed

He doesn’t look like a Bar headed goose which fly at 6,400m (21,000 ft) over the Himalayas

I have to wonder where the oxygen mask fell from.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Those of you on the right side of the aircraft may notice a flight of Russian MiGs. Those of you on the left side of the aircraft may notice a flight of UFOs. The next sound you will hear will be that of the crew ejecting.

Thank you for flying Bermuda Triangle Airlines.
