Guest Perry Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Folks, Spare a thought for those who have to fly through weather with paying passengers / freight.... This cockpit looks like it was a former UAL B-727. Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2006 15:56:01 -0600 Last night around 2300 BAX aircraft flight 705BX encountered severe weather over Alberta Canada. The aircraft was cruising at 35,000 feet when it encountered tennis ball sized hail. The pictures below show some of the damage. All landing lights were destroyed, as was the radar. The crew was forced to make a "blind" emergency landing. Upon safe return to the ground the first officer and flight engineer quit. It is expected that the aircraft is a total loss as its structural integrity has been compromised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dragout Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Quit?. Lol. A little conflict with the pilot perhaps?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danda Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I guess that both the pilot and co-pilot would have needed a complete change of attire upon their return.Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Longden Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Jeez.... no wonder... as for change of undies, well I guess that would have been an understatement.. Next question would be why did they cruise through Cb.. hail has to come from somewhere... Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
