Most do it at least three times a day 4. You always feel kinda bad afterwards 5. Both come in an aluminum wrapper 6. Cheap 8. Both drip on your flight kit 9. People claim McDonald's wings are not really chicken. Pilots claim Douglass wings don't make lift. 10. You can't stop McDonald's. |

a buddy is texting me, sitting on an M88... asking how old they are? Says it appears to be the oldest aircraft he's ever been on...?

I have no doubt that they did a great job of putting the crippled plane safely on the deck, but when you read this part of the story:
You have to wonder if they pushed their luck a little too far and maybe should have called for a tug like we do in the simulator...they were already Gold Medal winnners for landing safely (Yes, I'm a Hall of Fame Monday Morning Quarterback) It never stopped until it was in the grass...It just slowly drifted there. |

It's mis-reported. The pilots kept asking for chocks to be put in while the aircraft was still on the pavement, but rolling verrry slowly. The emergency crews said they'd chock it when it stopped.

777 guys.... how often is DXB actually payload optimized? Travelnet always gives the warning for it.

What do you call it when you have three APC'ers on the same flight? Is it a flock of APC'ers, or a pride?

[QUOTE=Sink r8;1615678]Gaggle works. So does: an ASAP report...
Good point. I'll start writing the outline now. Dear Penthouse Forum: I never thought this would happen to me... (It's not too late, is it?) |
