Now that the time has changed back to Daylight Saving I figure we should celebrate with a fresh new caption contest, especially since bacon is involved! If you cook up the winning caption for the pic above you'll snag a bacon sandwich at Oshkosh 2013.
So... you've got til Wednesday evening at 9pm EDT to submit your clever/funny/cool captions. Then, I’ll pick the best 5 and put ’em in a poll for everyone to vote on for all day Thursday and Friday so we can find the winner.
The Rules:
1) Max of 3 submissions per person
2) Submissions go in the 'comments' area
3) Game ends Wednesday at 9pm EDT
4) Keep it clean!
Then, anyone can cast their vote starting Thursday morning and running thru til 9pm EDT Friday. The winner will be posted Saturday morning 3-16-13. Stand tall my avgeeks friends, no matter what!

Wheels? Wait. What?
Bob and Ted seemed unjustifiably proud of their zero length landing demostration.
1. We are proud to be testing the new Terrain Following Radar modifications on the F-111.
2. We didn't do that... The government did....
3. We took the grounding during sequestration very seriously...
Airplane: Man, What a flight! I am BUSHED!!!
I told you the Vark had enough thrust to taxi with the gear up.
Landing gear? We don't need no stinkin' landing gear!
First test of the new Aussie rubber matting runway didn't go well as the pilots landed at the wrong airfield
1) How much grease do you think it will take to make this thing slide fast enough to fly?
2) I though you said the gear was down.
Whoooo, the tarmac feels so warm.......
PRESENTING THE "KNEELING F-111" FOR OUR SENIOR PILOTS!

LOW-RIDE-ERRRR
Gus and Frank are seen smiling by their vehicle outside a local Pep Boys parking lot while they wait for their wheels to be balanced.
You were number two, Cougar was number one. Cougar lost it—forgot how to land. You guys are number one.
I thought you said this was a nice neighborhood!
That's what I call "On the deck!"
Yup we parked in the wrong neigborhood.
So THAT'S what the loud horn was for!
This new design saves a fortune in tyre wear but I reckon we'll be spending an awful lot more on JATO bottles...
I always thought nap-of -the-earth flying was more of a helicopter thing.
Bill and Fred were all smiles the day they earned their Tail Dragger rating.
Think the air boss will notice?
What? what? What! Who? What? Me? Nawww ! Who? Him? Who? You? What? Nawww.
We didn't do it. We were not there. You didn't see us.
It's the never ending story! Next we'll have to teach it to roll over!
The new F-111 Pro® version can be flown to follow the terrain to 1inch AGL. And with the optional Sniff® add-on, it can identify targets below ground and automatically loiter above target as shown in the picture above. -AP News
It was your turn to activate the landing gear.....
was not......was to...... was not.......was to...was not......................
Due to sequester budget cuts all crash investigations are now handled by sending a do-it yourself photo of the crash site.
Sequester cuts REALLY cut the Air Force down...literally!
"Just a scratch, it'll buff right out"
"Eeeee....vato! Check out my new low rider!"
I thought the Tower was screaming someting, but I could not hear what they were saying because the warning horn was sooooo loud!!
