"fully fictional lavatories", for when you had to take a phantom leak Dominican...

My old time favorite about this a/c, the relay (can't remember name) in the center of the hump, right above the spar, that controlled the flap position. That POS got stuck just about every week in the winter. Learned to do power on flare/landings early on 'cause it liked to fail in the air at flap 0 the most. Will never forget the first time it got stuck after landing while retracting the flaps. It stopped at 20, we pulled up, people get out, MX guy comes out with a long 2x4 and starts wailing at the hump. Suddenly you hear it click and the flaps retract. 0 flaps t/o and ldgs the rest of that day. What a great plane!.
