Silly aviation pictures.

Enjoy your trip Nev.

Didn't realise you were also a gambler.

Been let down and bumped so many times i've learned my lesson. 

They won't get another cent fom me.

🙏🙏🙏

PS This in only wishing you get a safe flight on time. Nothing to do with Air Lingus who used to have a priest bless the flight before departure 🤪

I'd walk before I rode with JS again. Cramped seats, tired aircraft, full of drunken and abusive bogans, and you get absolutely NOTHING, you have to BUY anything you want.

Every single person I've spoken to in recent times, who took a JS trip, says they won't fly with them again. I think it's been about 6 years since I took a JS flight.

 

On one trip to Bali we were delayed 5 hours, because a part needed had to be flown in from the East. We got a $10 lunch voucher from them - and have you ever tried to buy anything to eat, for $10, in an airport? You certainly don't get lunch, that's for sure. Then they boarded us, and we had to wait another 1-1/4 hrs until they found a LAME to sign off on the part replacement. 

 

Instead of arriving in Bali by mid-morning, we arrived in the late afternoon, so we effectively lost out the best part of a day of our holiday.

The vital part of my post was My Boss SHMBO Booked it.

A horrific landing on the Greek island of Rhodes. He managed to save it, and other aircraft went elsewhere. I bet a few needed new underwear.

 

[facthunter]

Pod a bit close to touching, but otherwise what's horrific? Nev

[spacesailor]

The screams perhaps ! .

Unfortunately I didn't have a link to the video, just a still from it. It was a bit hairy in the video.

Yeah that's a bit wild, hard enough to drop all the Masks and Injure People's Backs.  Nev

The PA-28-140 performance is as stated in the POH. Oh and um 4 people and full fuel would not be permitted after reading the POH. Always read the POH or flight manual or whatever the manufacturer calls it.

I. Don't think this is serious. That's why it is in the jokes thread

Last week I had a look at a citation mustang that was at sale for the day.

The pilot said he is limited to 2 passengers with full fuel. Expensive ride at 450 lph for 2 people.

Yea! but at least be positive, you can get to the refueling point a lot quicker to empty the wallet.😜

They once said the early A300 normally only got off the ground due to curvature of the earth

 

[facthunter]

That's BS also. Most take offs were with reduced thrust.  ALL twin jets go like rockets on two engines to be able to fly on ONE. I flew the first  batch of the A-300 B4 in Australia Twin aisle 264 tonnes

you people do realise the runway post above is a joke.
