Bulls "scary" plane ride

[FLYLOW22]

How do they see sparks coming out of the engines on a 727? Were they coming out the front of the engines?

Spark detectors.

must be...

Probably the fetzer valve.....its all ball bearings now anyway....

If the media built a plane . . . .it would look like a Hansa jet.

Sweet - I'm gonna rev up the engines on my next leg.

Either that or the johnson rod seperated from the rotator spliff attach node.

"Apparently a compressor in engine No. 3" Were they flying in a '74?

Not a 74, it's the other jet with 3 engines....

Beautiful!

I'm trying to figure out what 3rd engine they're talking about. Even on the 727 it was generally the #2 that would stall. The only place they could "see sparks" would be on the R aft of wing where you'd often see APU torching.

That said, all MC's birds are 2 engine...

What charter operator is still using 727's? What is this story from 1982?? Find it hard to believe the Chicago Bulls are flying on some old beat up 727.

I guess they really do use a 727..............http://www.flickr.com/photos/md11forever/6849360502/
