I've seen two pictures tonight. They are on the GOC/maintenance website. Another crewmember knew how to get on there and view the pics. Rumor is one jet has already been released but other will more work.

If the accident occured on an abnomally hot, cold, wet, dry windy or calm day - then blame the accident on "Climate Change." Which would again make it Bush's fault.

No, that would make it Al Gore's fault!

I bet the guys driving the tugs around were over 60. It's their fault. And Bush's...why not?

Can't remember off the top of my head but the loss of the lower winglet is something like a 12000 pound penality........

Winglets are for fairies.

Real airplanes have "straight" wings.

So I guess that means you only fly the mini-bus?

I guess they've taken off the winglets since I flew that plane (A-300-600.) Of course, the other option is that you are a fairy.

I believe the proper name for what the wingtip device on the A300-600 is "wingtip fence".

Do you believe in the tooth fairy? With talk like that, he may need to come visit you.

What's your medical status these days, anyway? Close?
