One of the new -900's.
Kinda makes you wonder if the 757-200 has twice the number of brakes, wheels and tires for a reason ...
Have to say, as much as I thought I would like the -900 ... not a fan.
Forget about saving whales, tatas, the environment ... SAVE THE 757s!

Sometimes to reduce residual idle thrust. I doubt very many taxiway excursions and zero runway excursions are caused by routine taxi attempts on SE. That said, I'd still be inclined not to do it, particularly with wing mounted engines.

Question for Check Airmen
I was laying over in the Caribbean. Inbound crew brought in our aircraft with TCAS MCO'd and a note on my outbound flight plan that said OCC approved flight w/MCO.
I looked in the MEL and it seemed to me that TCAS was required for flights TO the Caribbean in RVSM airspace. MEL said I was fine to bring it home.
Can the OCC waive something like that? I've looked in the AIM and I can't find anything specific. Inbound crew said TCAS was broken prior to dispatch. (They went on a long flight with a broken first class lav, too.)

I have no idea what's going on. I sure as hell am getting tired of all the runway excursion info in the quarterly CQs though.

Go to a SAC base. Put 1 in full burner. Accelerate until 19 percent N2 on the other engine, bring the fuel lever up. Overfly a residential area at about 100 feet AGL while waiting for #2 to spool up. Fly home. Then write up the faulty start valve.
Someone should write a book of all the things Marine Corps pilots have done to upset the Air Force. The stories just get funnier with time.
