Re: Visits to flight deck.
My Dear Tart 1...
Alcohol consumed at 35,000 feet has an exaggerated effect on the human brain due to the change in barometric pressure. I'll never know how I got the thing back on the ground...
On June 11th, I posted an open apology for my comments about visits to the flightdeck, so there.
In response to your suggestion that I once asked questions as daft as 'What would happen if I selected 'gear-up' while the aircraft was on the ground...', and; 'do airliners have a reverse gear...?' Of course the answer is YES!
The daftest questions I can ever remember asking on a visit to the cockpit during 1970's holiday flights were:
1) Do pilots have to wear special shoes?
2) Does the co-pilot have to finish his meal before the Captain
can start his, in case the food is poisoned?
Yours truly,
The Cap'n.
