Samuel,

The "thrust under wings" one is really good. You're refering to the engines I suppose....shaking the wiring loose on a heavy landing?

Oh well, once had a prop shaft broken at the coupling, not on the APU side, but on the Bogey side, right where it passes the flange at the diff to the main undercarraige drive train. This after I told Solly a thousand times not to double-clutch before hitting second gear, al this just prior to V1! In rainy conditions, the traction control on the 6X6 Global Express never lost it's footing on the tarmac too!

I remember it cost me a whole now transmission gearbox on the Global Express, but fortunately Solly's cousin knew someone in Joburg to do the job and the insurance paid up! Thank goodness it's running again! Keep up the good work.

Guns, hou die wyn terug op hierdie ou, ek dink hy rook ou Army kouse met pille, en snuif Mycota ook! Sal graag wil join, soek ook 'n elevation!
