    This started in the Dublin thread, but certainly has scope for more fun on the forum. So start thinking aviation for teams, players, commentators etc. Here are a few from the Dublin thread to get you thinking.

    The season is like an airplane. At the O'Byrne Cup, the engine has just started and we are heading to the runway. In the league, we are accelerating down the runway. If we do well, towards the end of it we lift off the ground and start gaining height. All going well, we are flying high come September.

    Of course, some planes never get off the ground. Some engines cut out before that. Some don't get their engines even started. Take Waterford. Their engine started with a roar yesterday, but it might cut out soon and not get started again for the rest of the year. Some engines have trouble getting started and then suddenly spurt into life. Other planes fly well, but can't quite reach cruising altitude, like Mayo. They tweak the engine, get new mechanics and engineers in, but no matter what they do it just doesn't make it. I am sure you could all pick counties and give the appropriate descriptions.

    As Dubs, we hope to be flying highest. We are chugging along ok now, but that is no guarantee that we will be flying high later in the year. Let's see how fast we are going along the runway in Killarney on the 1st of March. That will be a good marker.

    We are an Aer Arann flight hopefully connecting to Virgin Atlantic in Heathrow

    I'd like to see both Davy Byrnes (Olafs & Kickhams) & Conor McHugh do a bit of stewarding on the Aer Arann biggrin.png

    Mayo are like Ryanair. They get close, but never exactly to where the supporters want them to get to. smile.png Joe Brolly is like a fighter pilot, always wanting to take other planes down.

    OK guys and gals, you are cleared for take off.
