Title: CAP, the Columbian Air Force?
Post by: DC on May 28, 2008, 02:58:20 PM
Totally random, but I think highly funny. While randomly perusing Wikipedia I took a sudden interest in third-world air forces. After being awed by the potency of Mexico's 10 aircraft fighter force I decided to search 'Columbian Air Force'. The search turned up no exact matches, but, in the list of possible matches right at the very top of the list, was, "Civil Air Patrol".

So, we are apparently, according to the ever-omnipotent Wikipedia, the nearest thing to the Coloumbian Air Force...

No, I'm not kidding, try it yourself...

EDIT: The second result is Billy Mitchell.  ???

EDIT EDIT: Now I feel really stupid, I misspelled Colombia, hence funny result. [duncecap]

If Wikipedia says it it must be right because all their sources are reliable.  ;D

^ hahahha.....I am a "source" on many Wikipedia articles.  Most of which are completely and evilly WRONG.  Did I purposely put wrong info into Wikipedia.......you bet I did.  Why, you might ask......because I can.

I've altered stuff to make it sound right.  Gotta love when  people write the stuff in such a way that it makes them sound uneducated.

That might have been a better way to find the articles available on different national Air Forces.
