So he says we'd better get you in the right frame of mind...and proceeded to pull out a laptop and fire up his collection of classic 70's porno...for 5 hours!
Note: He did verify that all three people in the cockpit were ex-navy before he did this.

Seriously, can you access the internet, and to some web surfing inflight. Or even DVD's

Since we have strayed into the porno realm....
Out here (Iraq) 1 out of 10 Marines has either:
a: external hard drive of at least 100gb
b: laptop with roughly 60gb
and in most cases both are completely running at 90-95% FULL of porn...and that is just some Marines....others have over 200+GB full
I am no saint by any means but I was not even aware that much porn even existed...when you have 200gb it starts getting pretty obscure..ie..pets, tools, farm animals...ok I will stop because this isnt really appropriate for this forum but you get the idea
