Silly Week 2007

 

In an attempt to achieve complete political coordination with all facets of life, an entire Air Force base in Texas had been converted to operate aircraft with only right wings! This was done to apparently eliminate any dangerous left-wing tendancies that might have cropped up in the future. Unfortunately, the idea turned out to only lead to failures, with the planes not being able to hold a course and inevitably spiral downwards. Turns out, you need both wings to maintain stability.

Pictures have been virtually impossible to obtain, as the Daharta Air Base is massive and very inaccessable. However, satellite imagery comes to the assistance! Here is the only image I've been able to find of any of the planes.

Oddly, this had been attempted in the past in the Soviet Union, where entire regiments were not allowed to march with their right feet, right turns were made illegal, and tanks had the right tracks removed. Had only somebody heeded the lessons of the past, much time and effort could have been saved...deep in Daharta, Texas...
