HA! Like CO would really allow a random passenger to jump behind the wheel of a 772. :rolleyes:

Awww... c'mon! You don't think that you, Hartmann, and me could have flown that 767 from FRA? How hard could it be? We have thousands of hours on a plane, we've sat in a 739 cockpit for a few minutes on the ground...

We coulda figured it out. I saw Airplane.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

For those that enjoy Russian Rust Buckets:
Video of fully loaded Il-76 taking every inch of runway in Australia

There is a little language in the video.

Notable quotes:

"Vodka burner is rolling"

"We have Smirnoff!"

Apparently Claudio is hard at work. EWR-GRU fares dropped below $500 last night on DL.

WOW. All these fantastic deals and no time. :mad:

Oddly enough, that quote was directed at me. :D

NICE! I love pasta with sausage, and potato soup is pretty high on my list too.

Have I ever mentioned how painful it is to watch cable news? CNN went right to Twitter to get reactions on the death of the CO61 pilot. :rolleyes:

I blame all this "news-making" on Cafferty.

Probably the same "passenger" that flew the aircraft to Europe a few days ago.

Do you have visual confirmation that it is a deer? I assumed it was a deer eating my flowers until I was home one day and say a groundhog climb all over my deck onto our railing planters to get himself a snack. :mad::mad::mad:
