We also added a horn that plays La Bamba at a volume that rivals a freight train's whistle, on steroids, 3cm from your ear...we were tired of waiting in line for takeoff and we figured who doesn't like little tune every now and then. Anyways I can't seem to remember what happened to it, nor what else happened that night, but it's rumored to still be parked somewhere in one of the offsite lots next to EWR and every once in the while the tune of La Bamba can be mysteriously heard in downtown Newark.

We also did the same thing with an A300, but that was solely to hack of theblakefish.
Bit to drink tonight? ^^^^^
