I heard it on the Radio this morning, you should have heard the glee in the girl's voice, she was having the time of her life, a nice day out.

When she proclaimed that they were preventing the burning of 3.9 tonnes of carbon for every hour they were there, the presenter pointed out that the planes would still take off anyway, and they were delaying the landing or diverting planes elsewhere which would actually mean even more carbon was being burnt.

She soon STFU.

One 225 could squeez em all like bugs on the tarmac, go over it with the snow sweeper, and your runway is all good to go!

Sometimes you've just got to accept that there is a good case for sterilisation to prevent further pollution of the gene pool ;D ;D ;D

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
