Yes Chuckles,

Must be mellowing, but I am a little concerned at your retention of facts and wonder just how much written is actually in error!

The Chock jumping episode was carried out by bongo with the Pope on board. First the nose wheel followed by a main as he desperately steered away from impacting a walkway! But the best part was still to happen. On arrival at HGU, bongo could not start the apu and had to keep No 2 running, thereby very successfully drowning out the Pope's address to thousand of welcomers. Sad, as being a devout popie, bongo was very keen to make a good impression to facilitate his future pathway above.

The Jakarta episode should not have happened as I had rostered a national crew to fly Bill Skate and party, but somwhere along the way, CNS based crew got in the act and an ex raaf type had the system changed and he flew the flight. I tried to Hammer it in that changes for the better may not actually be so.
