Yes, the Flying Indys were indeed a result of last year's Queen Mary Summit. A good number of us were in Gear enjoying drinks and conversation out on deck forward of the Lounge. Suffice it to say (I'm sure others can fill in other details...) that a couple of inebriated (and otherwise illegally compromised) bar patrons out with us, upon inquiring about our get-up, were told of the Flying Indys Convention taking place on board over the weekend. The Flying Indys, of course, used to be the Flying Elvises, who eventually ditched the get-up of the King in favor of a costume more suited to the adventure aspect of jumping out of planes and performing aerobatic routines both before and after deploying our parachutes and landing safely back on the ground. Suffice it also to say that, with all participating Gearheads maintaining absolutely straight faces, that the...gentlemen, in their condition, bought the story, hook, line, and sinker. One of the guys then re-procured what was left of his joint from a hidden spot behind a mast of some sort and rejoined his friend. A fine and memorable moment for a good number of us to share....
