Ahhhh, the good ole days! Found this in some paperwork.

Jetstream Song

To the tune of Gilligan's Island:

Just sit right back and you'll hear our tale
Of a typical Jetstream trip
We stuff 19 paying passengers
Aboard our tiny ship

No drinks, no stu, no cockpit door
Not a single luxury
Like Orville and Wilbur Wright
As primitive as can be
As primitive as can be

My armrest's broke, my back is shot
I have a second job
The engines are not making torque
I wish I flew the Saab

We wrote one up, the boss is mad
It's me he wants to fire
I should have stayed in dental school
The majors will not hire
The majors will not hire

The freon's out, the flows are bad
No yaw damper installed
The passengers are turning green
The new guy is appalled

The pressure spikes, the radar's shot
The brand new engine quit
I hope I live to tell the tale
Of a typical Jetstream trip
Aboard our tiny ship!

They forget waiting on the rampers to service the water meth tanks and ALL the rubber band jokes when you spun the props post flight.
That's classic.

I remember that being posted in the crew lounge years ago. The years have softened the memories of the mighty Jetstream.

Too bad today's aviators don't get to experience a machine like the Jetstream as their first airliner.

Over worked and under paid, I'd jump in one right now if I could.

Ahhhh....the Mighty Mach .32.

You're not flying a real airplane unless you have to step over the wing spar!
