Opening the aft air stairs from inside should be something trained in the real airplane on the ramp.

What fun would that be for the Boeing pilots? Place would be boring without hearing the adventures of those intrepid, brave, Douglas Line Test Pilots. I'm hopeful as we approach the 40th anniversary of the type we can get the bugs worked out in a couple of more years.

Oh this movie is going to be a gold mind.
Truly, truly, a Douglas pilot: http://www.filmequals.com/wp-content...01-550x620.jpg Give hollywood credit, he may be wearing his hat and glasses inside the hotel, but man his bag is spot on... The angry butt kicking pilot at the door... with his hat on...: http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...h4IkrrnwwnIF3u Yeah, obviously the FO is flying... http://www.apnatimepass.com/flight-movie-picture-30.jpg |

Besides, with those trim tabs that merely suggest which way the MD88 might roll if you turned the yoke upside down in one direction or the other, there is no way that thing would roll. If someone tried it would take the rest of the movie to get it over the top. Everyone knows the only way to roll a Douglas product is to hold at the FMC recommended holding speed, at which point the airplane enters an uncoordinated stall towards the inside of the turn, does a half snap roll to a nose down recovery, or if your unfortunate, an inverted flat spin. It must be reoverable ... no MD88 sized holes in the dirt around SINCA or Rome, Georgia. NEWK told me to never use the yoke. Rudder pedals, power, flap handle & trim. The rest really has no effect on the flight path of the jet. Bar; I am probably one of the few pilots at this company that has not had the Douglas "club" initiation. However, your descriptions of how the -88 flies make me laugh every time. I have jumpsat/seated on many of them and have always been amazed at the Houdini getting out of a straightjacket contortions that the FOs have to do. fuggeddabout the -9. My current flows are pretty much check the O2, look at everything else and generally don't touch anything. |
Ugh. This movie is going to use too much CGI. Look, a Captain doing the walk around:

I am sure we can use this somewhere:
http://i.ytimg.com/vi/I-ra-c6TxB8/0.jpg You know, I feel the same joy when I fly a Douglas, that's not CGI right there... http://www.blackbookmag.com/polopoly...inal/image.png Oh wait, there is some. I notice they CGI'd the backup instrument vibrator circuit breaker IN. When Bar is MD'd to the MD-88, this is how they're going to inform him that he's got training... http://www.apnatimepass.com/flight-movie-picture-4.jpg You're ****ed man. (green smile) |

Great pic.... I wish it would have been me though.. A few extra days stuck in RTB wouldn't bother this FO.. The carpet dance would be worth it.
I dove roatan when there were 9 grass huts on the island - total. Undiscovered in the early 80s. |
