RE: A miracle cure
Yet another reason I don't fly.
Airline pilot named 'Quickfall'. Love it! Geoff, I'm sure you've heard it all before. We still love you. -J (10-30-2024 12:07 AM)Geoff Quickfall Wrote: Climbed to 35,000 feet in the 737-200 without the autopilot. At level off I reached up to engage the 2 Autopilot switches (single bar). |

RE: A miracle cure
One of the facts I've learned about this community (cemented when I got to attend HHC for the first time this year) is that Geoff simply has the best stories. Absolutely electric.

RE: A miracle cure
That story from our friend Geoff is not rare at all...
Have similar experience with W3A Sokol helicopter demo flight. After start up, still on ground the SAS* refuses cooperation. After couple minutes of knocking around, all good, off we go *(SAS stands for stability augmentation system) The second one is even better... 1999. Libya, Tripoli Our local flight Tripoi-Sirt-Benghazi is 1,5 h late, no one is telling how and why. We are looking on the apron through big windows, one local B727 standing in front. After while the copilot is leaving cockpit with huge screwdriver than opening the avionic bay bellow the nose & cockpit, than knocking on something. He repeated that three times. After that we noted the first engine start. Friend asking: is that our flight? No clue, but it can be. It was... Not boarding on that flight was not an option |
