Hey Sailing, since I tooled myself on page one now its my turn to out a tool. Todays tool award goes to my old Brasilia captain that brought out hand puppets to start an engine. The Jar Jar Binks puppets hand would come up above the glareshield and twirl. In his best jar jar voice he'd say, "Meesa say start engine numba one!". The ramper pointed to the number one engine, twirled a wand and just shook their head in wonder. ......Buzz lightyear got to start engines too.
I must admit I did laugh on day one. Day 16, not so much. We flew all month with the same crew.
