You are doing the final checklist preparing to land on an Aircraft Carrier... you are queing up to land, circling the ship at a predefined altitude (dependent on time of day).

Merlin is correct. "Prep Charlie" or PC is the signal from the Carrier to prepare for landing. When ready, the Carrier then issues signal Charlie to land.

Though that might be more of a toughie than it was. Good job as usual Merlin.

This movie actress name graced the equipment of military airmen duriing the war. There are 2 slang terms for which her name is associated with What was her name and what was the equipment? Hopefully this makes sense

A parachute malfunction, actually. Things are kind of busy for me right now, but I check in occasionally. Thanks; Ernie P.

A "Mae West" is also a type of round parachute malfunction (partial inversion) which contorts the shape of the canopy into the appearance of an extraordinarily large brassiere, presumably one suitable for a woman of West's generous proportions
