N1KE Gear Problems

Can a GV dump fuel?

 

[cush]

on FOX news the "expert" they are talking to said that the GV probly as 20,000 gallons of jet fuel to burn off! wow, so at 6.7lbs per gallon thats 134,000lbs of fuel! that GV is a haus.

Also she says the when she flys on the airlines she always flys with a smokehood in her carry on.

That was Mary Schiavo talking she's no expert.

These poor guys just got this aircraft used

http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNumSQL.asp?NNumbertxt=225GV&cmndfind.x=19&cmndfind.y=14

Aircraft registered 11/03/05 expires 12/03/05. That's what they get for trying to take a 30 day pink slip registration out of the country.

If they had bought a falcon this wouldn't have been a problem.

DUCK

That's what I was thinking. That 3rd engine would also come in handy as well.

Do you think these new anchors ever watch something like this later on and see how stupid they sound?

Also where the h#ll do they find these "experts" that have a private license and all of a sudden are experts on every aircraft ever built?

Wow now this is entertainment

Where were they headed? Out of the country with a pink slip? Not a good idea
