African Pilot Aviation News 28 2014 • Monday 14 July 2014 “He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts… for support rather than illumination”. Andrew Lang (1844-1912) African Pilot’s August 2014 edition On Wednesday last week the August edition of African Pilot was delivered to our printers. This experiment where we have created two magazines within one publication will no doubt confuse some of our readers, but I hope we will invite discussion on this method of producing an aviation magazine. Naturally this has been done by other publications in the past, but as far as my memory serves me, never in any aviation publication. When the August edition reaches the retail shelves as well as our valuable subscribers, please use this opportunity to engage with me about this idea. Thank you.

Agenda 07H30 arrive and breakfast 08H30 Fun Rally briefing 10H00 first aircraft off 14h30 prize giving Aviation humour Two old Jewish men, Sid and Abe, are sitting in a Mexican restaurant one day. Sid asks Abe “Do you know if any people of our ancestry were ever born and raised in Mexico?” Abe replies “I dont know, let’s ask our waiter”. When the waiter arrives, Abe asks “Are there any Mexican Jews?” The waiter says “I don’t know senor, I ask the cooks”. He returns from the kitchen after a few minutes and says “No senor, the cook say no Mexican Jews”. Abe isn’t satisfied and asks “Are you absolutely sure?” The waiter, realizing he is dealing with ‘Gringos’ replies “I check once again, senor” and goes back into the kitchen. While the waiter is away, Sid says “I find it hard to believe that there are no Jews in Mexico... our people are scattered everywhere”. The waiter returns and says “Senor, the head cook Manuel, he say there is no Mexican Jews”. “Are you certain?” Abe asks again. “I just can’t believe there are no Mexican Jews!” “Senor, I ask EVERYONE” replies the exasperated waiter. “All we have is Orange Jews, Grape Jews, Prune Jews, Tomato Jews and Apple Jews, but no Mexican Jews.” Weekly News from African Pilot Should you happen to miss out on any edition of African Pilot’s weekly aviation news briefs, please visit the website: africanpilot.co.za and click on the Aviation News link on the front page.
