mooneygirl Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 The guy at Customs in Zurich wasn't too happy when my friend snapped a photo of me getting a stamp in my passport. At least I would have been reppin' for the Mooney Caravan in the clink. Might get to do some Mooney flying here. You never know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK train stations as well. British customs agent Simon to agent Edgar; “Good lord man, more stupid Americans snapping photos in customs” Edgar; “I'll set them right, Hey you Americans, step aside I have some questions for you and put away that camera. That is a major security violation!” Hours later after being scorned our Americans are strolling on Piccadilly... American tourist Ken, “ Gee, there sure are a lot of cameras on the street.” Tourist Barbie, “Yeah, I read there were 500,000 cameras in London alone.” Ken, “That's a lot of cameras. What on earth do they need all these cameras for?” Barbie, “They're for security.” Ken, “Oh, OK. Hey look, you have a loose thread hanging from your jacket, let me get that real quick with my pocket knife.” Quote Edited September 7, 2019 by Tony Starke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but at one point, all of the americas were labeled a terrorist territory by the British... some time around 1775... so much so that the King sent in an army to weed out the terrorists. That one didn’t turn out so well for his Majesty. I wonder what a British designed mooney would have looked like Edited September 7, 2019 by M016576 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what a British designed mooney would have looked like That is not exactly right since that was not the language used then/ no one called anyone terrorists for anything then. But in principle, semantics aside, your comment is right on. Edited September 7, 2019 by aviatoreb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M016576 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 4 minutes ago, Hyett6420 said: Incorrect, you were never labelled terrorists then you were labelled "Insurrectionists" which was different. As for a British designed Mooney, well we have the Spitfire, Comet, Trident etc, so probably really really pretty. But then for you guys to invent anything would be a first, lol. 1) semantics! Hah! (But I’ll take that- while I’m sure there were a few “insurrectionists” participating in terrorist actions, I’m willing to bet that most were not). 2) What about powered airplanes... and the internet? I’m fairly certain those were two American inventions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_elliott Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 just imagine how long the electric vehicle disruption would take if it were left up to Lucas electric. Brits are still working on IV=P 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awful_Charlie Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Disappointed you didn't let me know you were in Zurich as if I'd known I would have jumped on the tram up to meet you! (and could have given you the Zurich City tour) However, don't get too upset about the customs officers - last time I went through a US customs and immigration at a scheduled airport, there were lots of signs about no guns , cameras , phones etc, and as a non-native I wouldn't have dared to even produce a camera, let alone use it, and even worse to take a picture of an official! Enjoy your stay - are you coming to Speyer in two weeks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueOne Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Who invented F1 and bier? Those two are going to be explored at Monza tomorrow. Europe and their people are beautiful. Should have come sooner... Thoroughly enjoying ourselves thus far! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your stay - are you coming to Speyer in two weeks? I will be back on Monday after Mt. Rigi, and then back again on the 15th. On the 16th Urs Wildermuth is giving us a tour. So fun. Going to see some Mooney pilots in Provence on Thursday! Small world huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
