passengers can steal the life jackets !

[jsoceanlord]

airline passengers can easily steal inflatable life jackets, especially in commuters where it's in the seat pocket. they cost $50. its weird that it's possible, though it's probably a major fine,

Shoot them! Why is that weird? Would you suggest they keep them under lock and key and hey they could charge for them prior to handing them out prior to ditching. A little extra cash for the airline right?

I was jumpseating home from OAK a few years back and some young punk passenger was walking through the terminal wearing an uninflated life vest. I approached him, scared the S out of him with some BS story, he then gave it to me.

Hey XLR........is that avatar a hoax or did someone actualt roll a Lear. (That's what it looks like....)

Actually someone does an Aerobatic routine in a Lear 23. Loops, rolls, the whole nine yards. Even does the Bob Hoover move of touching down with one wheel does a roll and touches down on the other wheel all on the same pass down the runway.

I believe it's Bobby Yunkin, it's the same guy that does the Beech 18 routine. The Lear is painted up black and red.

Edit: Forgot that the pilot says that it's perfectly safe since that model of the Lear was original desinged as a military trainer.
