VH-KDK Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hopefully most of you will know the Where's Wally books by Martin Handford. Here is a new game and it is called...……………….. Where's Hilda? Can anyone guess where she is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I don't know, but I now know why Karl always flies tail draggers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauriebe Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Heavy weight Hilda?! Needs to be sat nearer the centre methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Never heard of these books but I like this shot. Must have too much cargo in the tail section? Surely not Hilda! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Not funny..I was load controller on the F27 out of Alice back in the 1970's and we had a lot of gold on board out of Tennant Creek.. The porters did not like the idea of moving the bullion out of the tail locker so they dumped more stuff on top of it..When I went out to sign the flight off the nose wheel was eighteen inches off the ground.. Imagine the pilots trying to trim that one?? Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 If the passengers refuse to pass into the back, you Aussies make it happen. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I don't know, but I do know that the MD11 requires a concrete block to be inserted in the front cargo deck during loading to avoid such a mishap. So, maybe they should have loaded her throught the front door, or they forgot the concrete block, one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that why she is never allowed in the flight deck, hang on, she would never fit in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is brave enough to go up the back with Hilda! Not a pretty sight in the dimly lit rear of the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl tells me he is investing in one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
