Article-Plane Flies Five from US to London

[jke406]

I hope this group never finds out how many Air Force "heavies" fly around the world empty every day!

Especially in September when everyone is trying to burn up the year's flying hours.

For real. As a tanker guy, I saw 80,000 pound of gas dumped frequently after the receivers didn't show, no questions asked, more times than the Man will ever admit.

Try old growth redwood, it burns slower and hotter.

...And trees that have spotted owls living in them are renowned for being a quick, easy light.

Happy hunting!

In early 2002 I got a ride home in a Saab 340 with just me and the FA! For free! I had a personal 340 to myself...thanks Pinnacle!

I remember flying from CVG-CLE-CVG empty both legs during my ACA days. The most memorable flight I've ever had. (Dating the FA) :beer:

I flew empty airplanes for months after US Airways dropped CommutAir and we were flying "for Continental," but not into their hubs.

We all had the numbers for "Full Fuel, 0 Pax" memorized to make the W&B forms easier.
