CAP [Transformers]: "More than meets the skies"

[LtCol Hooligan]

^  was that the movie with the wood chipper and endless murder? 

Ya you betcha.  We get on oar snowmobiles in August to get to dat der lake and catch me some Wallay.  Dem der good eatin ya know.

Bunch of legal jiggy-jack here, but...

I don't think they could do anything about a parody - intentional or unintentional - anyway. I would think that maybe those involved in these decisions don't know what Transformers are... maybe even think a "Transformer" is some kind of deviant [sic] lifestyle choice.

Don't mind mikey.  He hasn't had his medicine yet today.

Isn't this thread going to get locked too because of the ethnic slurs and racial epithets regarding members living in the northern wings?

A Cuban-Norwegian once said... "Hey Lucy... yAH wannAH gOH to dAH bOHat shOHw?" Hey, if we can't handle making fun of minorities, should we really be making fun of majorities? I am being facetious here, 'cause I'm not that PC.

Absolutely correct.  What is good for the goose is good for the gander.  Really, such issues don't contribute to the original crux of the thread...the tag line.

I still like the idea of just snagging:

"Civil Air Patrol: America's Hometown Air Force"

If we can steal it back, I'm all for it!

Good - and with the fine print "But we don't like UAVs"

[Skyray]

You realize that the Air Force is in a world of trouble.  The Army Air Corps wants their song back.

[JohnKachenmeister]

"...And nothing can stop the Army Aviation Corps?"

Nah... don't fit.

Tell the Air Force to relax.

[JohnKachenmeister]

Besides... why would the Army sing about the "Wild blue yonder" when they never get more than 10 feet over the trees?

Army pilots have to go on oxygen above 1000 feet msl.

Better than the Marines.  We have to raise the gear to descend to cruising altitude.

Wasn't that snagged from CAP to begin with?

[RiverAux]

It was used in an article about CAP in an Air Force magazine (maybe they've got that copywrite).  I haven't actually seen it in any old CAP literature to suggest it was any sort of official slogan/tagline, etc.

[jb512]

So what say you about the new slogan unveiled today?: "More than meets the skies"

My initial feeling is we could have done better, but the trouble is that I can't think of anything significantly better myself.

Thanks to Midway 6 for the commentary. 

Will we now be divided into autobots and decepticons?
