You probably have, I fly an FTD in Canada, I wear checkered shirts, and I have a goatee...

Oh, I forgot to mention the one drawback of the 777; it has trouble maintaining altitude when it runs out of fuel...:eek:

Martin Savidge told me so!

It should be mandatory for all 777 and 747 pilots to fly one 88 rotation, 5 legs a day and all! :D

I've been saying that for years, we need to swap trips about once per quarter, the ULR guys will finally get some landings, and the 88 guys will get FED! :D

We throw away more food on every flight than an 88 guy will see in a year! :eek:

I call Razorback1, ugasucks, and two other that don't want to be "outed?" Friends.
I meet FERD by chance the one and only time I flew into PHX a couple yrs ago.
Pretty sure I just exchanged pleasantries with Bucking Bar while searching for electrical schematics on the M88 in the B concourse satellite lounge.
I feel like I know Buzz, Carl, FTB and T, but could only pick one out of a line up!
APC is a good little community of nit wits, brains, and jokesters....keep it up lady and gents.

Can't wait to meet you Sinca...and I agree, APC L&D is like crack. I'm not an addict but I do like a late walk down Virginia Ave every now and then.

I fly with a couple guys who lurk here. Both GREAT dudes. I know at least three other posters here in my category, also sterling guys.

I keep looking for the rest of you. I've met ACL, still looking to run into FTB, newK, Timbo, T, et al. (And I know who Carl is.....) Wink, wink.

We should have a central meeting place, like the bar at the training hotel in ATL, or the sports bar in NRT for the guys who frequent there.

When you walk in, to identify yourself to other APC'rs, you shoot the Shocker over your head, then take a quick look around...see who's shooting you the Shock and Awe. ;)

The 88 does that same ####.

A rumor I heard was that you don't really know what to do when you're in a boat that doesn't have a sail...
