Post by: gazbutS3 on October 27, 2011, 08:02:20 pm: great control, the T tail-rear engine config of the old 727 probably helped him out no end, taking nothing away from his skill though :happy2:

I was sat next to a polystyrene box on a Cuban internal flight. It has some text on which I jotted down and later translated to "organs for human transplant" :surprised:

The locals in China used to be amazed when you turned up at your seat, found all their luggage on it and then went ballistic at them. This was normally solved by throwing it into the aisle much to their dismay. :evilgrin:
