So, a cup of coffee and my feet on the dashboard until something came by was in order.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
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.

And to think your getting paid for this Matt.   ;D

Don't you think you should give part of your paycheck back this week, just for the pure enjoyment of being there?   ::)  

Great shots and don't forget to clean the boot marks off the dash.   ;)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Sorry, but it's a Fokker 100. They are a charter lease from Germaina and operated in Air Berlin colours.

Nobody beats a guy I know at EBUL.

Last sunday there were 5 ga-planes in the pattern or over the airfield, so lots of engine-noise. Suddenly the man point to a white dot high up and said, that's a Harvard. So I point my lense up, take a shot and zoom in on the LCD-screen... and it sure was! He could recognise the sound of the engine amongst 5 other engines!

Sad to say, but I can tell you if an Air Bus is taking off or if it is a 737 whist inside the hanger  :-[
