  2. The one about the drunks who thought it would be a good idea to strap a JATO onto the roof of a Chevy Impala.

Only this one has pictures. Priceless!

In searching, the ‘redplate’ link is the only one with a pejorative version of the flight crew. Any of these links describe the event as overrunning the chocks. For example, wouldn’t the redplate account yield the aircraft as going > 30mph?
