It might harm their reputation, but Israel's air force is considering giving its combat pilots Viagra to improve their performance -- in the air.

A recent study conducted by Israeli doctors among mountain climbers in Africa found a link between erectile dysfunction drugs and improved performance in high altitudes, the mass-selling Yediot Aharonot reported on Thursday...

Oops, wrong stick.

[r9etb]

Dagnabbit — you were s’posed to save that line for me!

[NormsRevenge]

I ain’t touchin’ this one with a 10 foot pole.

[manic4organic]

The tailors will be busy adjusting inseams for awhile.

[trumandogz]

There will be stiff penalties for pilots who refuse the drug.

I hope they have enough clearance if they have to eject.

[SandRat]

New memembers of the mile high club??

[Billthedrill]

Nope. Too easy.

[RichInOC]

“The better to screw the Arabs with, my dear.”

[utherdoul]

You can kill arabs, get tons of isreali ladies AND free Viagra?? to hell with this country sign me up!

Most times, the guy at the higher altitude has the advantage in a dog fight, but six inches?

[HardStarboard]

Gives new meaning to “he’s a stick and rudder man”.

[Inyo-Mono]

I’m sure this will improve their ability to hit hard targets.

[Chieftain]

I guess term ‘stick and rudder’ could take on a new meaning!

[Syncro]

It's all about the plane...

"Da plane Boss, da plane"

You just gotta keep it up

[golfisnr1]

A new definition of a real high.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Just the thing for those long, hard missions.

[Billthedrill]

Nope again. I know what you’re thinking, but I’m not going to make juvenile references to joysticks, cockpits, and, ah, ejection seats...

[Lexington Green]

So that’s why they call it a ‘’joystick’’.

[Constitution Day]

Only six? Speak for yourself!

[Perdogg]

From what I understand, Viagra will not give you an erection, it will just help you get one when you want one.

[doc1019]

I understand that all test flights are scheduled to be less then four hours, just in case. ;-)

[BallyBill]

So it helps at high altitudes, not for going down?

[Rider on the Rain]

The Israelites are looking for some hardened pilots.

[decimon]

“Going ballistic!”

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I suppose they will be flying balls to the wall!

[mcshot]

Like: “take this up yer ol tailpipe Raggy”.

Funniest thread in some time and it’s serious.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

And in the latrine, pilots with short engine mounts will no longer have to taxi up close to the hanger.

[Braak]

From what I understand, Viagra will not give you an erection, it will just help you get one when you want one.

Considering the nature of fighter pilots the world over...I expect that this would be an almost near constant event. And folks, on a thread like this...there are rules!!! Let's at least have some photographic evidence of what our Israeli allies are fighting for!

[Grimmy]

Once again, journalism fails to inform with actual news.

This isn’t about the Viagra. Viagra has been around a long time. Everyone knows about Viagra.

But what’s made this mating of Viagra and pilots possible is the recent development of a new material useful in the manufacturing of non-stick, low friction, moisture and stain resistant underpants.

[neodad]

If you experience erections lasting longer than 4 hours, call the newspaper/

New memembers of the mile high club??

My company made me a member of their 8 mile high club when I flew above 40,000 feet in one of their Lear jets. They awarded me a Lear jet tie pin which I still have.

[Billthedrill]

No, dang it. Quit tempting me. I am not going to make childish allusions to tailhooks, hard landings, or pickling off a missile...

[Doctor Raoul]

That four hour limit is a nasty business. Basically they use a needle to remove the blood that's trapped until normal blood flow is resumed.

Owie Mommie, make Nurse Ratchet go away...

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

And when the surviving Arab pilots are debriefed they can cry...”The rabbit died”!

[Ronin]

LOL!!!!

Everyone has the same first thought. My fiance is right. Male humor is totally predictable.

[TrueKnightGalahad]

Knowing your passions for military aircraft, sex, and boisterous humor...this one’s for YOU! :-)

[gitmo]

The cockpit will be more crowded.

[Grimmy]

“... or pickling off ...”

Choices choices. Slow pickle or quick pickle? String it out, make it last, spread the load or bang it out and get it done in one big whopping dump?

[Grizzled Bear]

Not sure what to say about this one...

[mad_as_he$$]

lol...As if flying a fighter does not already give you a woody.

[TADSLOS]

Beats having to dead stick it.

[bmwcyle]

How many “Gs” can a penis take?

[SampleMan]

From what I understand, Viagra will not give you an erection, it will just help you get one when you want one.

Like a drug that only helps you get more money when you want more money?

[callisto]

What can I say?

I hope they don't have any clothes takeoffs and keep their number of landings equal to their number of takeoffs. LOL

[callisto]

R U ON THIS THREAD?
