I'd have gone to Paris.

Gup

They mean Paris, France - not Paris, Texas.

I was referring to the Twilight Zone movie where the flying monster was tearing panels off the airplane and only Lithgow could see it.

William Shatner was in the original.

Whoops, already covered, sorry.

Next time you shine Prater's shoes, ask him about flying big airplanes.

Shine his shoes? I think not.

More than likely is time spent underneath Prater's desk polishing his brass.

They have a Paris in France too?

 

[regionaltard]

They've got one in France and one in Kentucky too!

I heard that if you taxi a 767 faster than 8kts underbelly panels start peeling off. I am sure that's what happened. Probably got 'er up to 9 maby 10 mindblowing kts. Boeings cant take that kind of abuse. Can you imagine someone taxing a Boeing 25-30ish kts?
At least ATC is catching on now. Probably what AA wants, but they're treated like lap traffic now. PHX - "Southwest you have a passing lane if you wanna step to Bravo, Grab Alpha once you pass the '80." Anyone hear that the price of oil is going up?

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are!

My wife was flying home from Austin TX today on AA. After pushing back the crew discovered a major hydraulic leak. At least they had the brains to stay on the ground, thank CHRIST!

I can't believe you are comparing a hydro leak on the ground to an airborne,unknown sound that turned out to be an access panel cover.
Completely different animal.

That Paris sure gets around!

I think the crew did a fantastic job.

Hearing a sound in a Cessna and hearing a sound in a large transport is not the same thing. In a Cessna you don't hear funny sounds very often. In a large transport you hear them all the time. I about crapped my pants the first time I heard the pop of the cockpit window setting when we were going through FL200.

Not to beat a dead horse...there was no known problems...they were overweight...and there were numerous suitable airports before they were going oceanic.
