Thanks Paul, I don't mind the 400 but the 100 now looks like all nose and tail after getting used to the newer versions. I can remember how long the 200 series looked when they replaced the 100s on the Mildura Melbourne run many years ago. It was quite a big deal in Mildura and I can remember going out into the garden to see the first one fly over on it's way to YMML! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gerold, I love looking at the clouds almost as much as the scenery, indeed sometimes they totally obscure the ground so there is nothing else to look at! This is REX TD4 with AS16, that is all. No Skyfarce or ASCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there have been instances of fatalities where the prop has failed. Last year REX had the whole prop detach on one of their 340s, luckily no one was hurt and it missed the plane. www.abc.net.au/news/2017-04-13/rex-propeller-fell-off-because-of-broken-bracket-report/8442370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pilot told us we could sit anywhere we wanted as long as we all didn’t sit together. Then there’s DB Cooper, when he jumped out those air stairs the pilots said they could feel it. I remember the first time I ever saw a “DB Cooper switch on a 727, look it up, it’s ingenious.

When I started in the airline business I worked weight and balance, it was critical to have everything balanced just right. I realise that loading a plane is critical but I have never taken into account the movement of people around the cabin during flight. Various times there is plenty of movement to the bathrooms so you can imagine the effect of several dozen passengers queueing up around the cabin. Well that is a clever device, amazing what people think up isn't it. We flew back from Thailand on a DC-10 with only 80 passengers and were told to sit anywhere we liked. I also flew down to Phuket on an A310 and the few passengers aboard were allocated window seats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
