Stolen, but good (and true):

You are a South African bush pilot

working for Blue Sky Aviation.

You fly in some critical medical supplies,

enjoy a quick lunch at the hospital.

It's a stifling 100 degrees in the shade and

you're eager to get back aloft to the cooler upper atmosphere.

On the way back to your aircraft,

you discover that the only bit of shade within 1 mile

has become very popular.

You start estimating the distance to the aircraft door and wonder....

'Do I feel lucky today?'

Thanks for posting the pic, rebelgtp. I didn't have much time to do it right when I did it, and was hoping one of you would cover for me.

I've seen the pic before so even in its diminished size I recognized the "Oh E36 M3 " moment and knew google would serve me well in finding a larger copy lol.

As someone mentioned well what about the other side, you would more then likely get over there and find more of them lol.

And unless I am seeing things there is one laying underneath the plane between the wheels.

They're trained guard lions. Without them, that plane would be on blocks.

By golly you are right! I had never noticed that one before!

Actually they would keep the plane from being stripped...or flown away.

I thought it was a giant furry snake at first. Thanks for the larger picture.
