Dr Brown was a little disappointed that the new USA3000 flight didn't bring the high class tourists he was expecting.
However, the inmates of the Philadelphia State Mental Asylum thoroughly enjoyed their day out at Horseshoe Bay.

At first it seemed weird when Alex Scott wanted his car to collect him on the runway, but it was his insistance that the Town Crier announced his arrival that proved to be too much for Grant Gibbons to handle.

Breaking News - A local mad man ran onto the runway today and got within 100 yards of an incoming USA3000 flight just before he was shot by the Bermuda Airport Security sniper team. Above is a picture just before the fateful incident.

As Dr Brown's new private jet arrived to much fanfare, it suddenly became cystal clear.
Thinking it was a challenge not an advertising slogan....Dr. Brown was attempting to Buy Bermuda (with the tax payers money).

Photographic evidence finally disproves Sea Venture myth, proving that the first settlers of Bermuda arrived via USA 3000. They were immediately harrassed by Customs.

Running for his life, the town cryer attempts to escape from the custome after having been caught attempting to illegally import a bell without declaring it.

The survival of everyone on board depends on just one thing: finding someone on board who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.
