Fergieneer: I DO miss you guys up here, but the chances of you getting back up is slimmer than pilots getting obsolete. <img src="eek.gif" border="0">
How do you like this one:
Took off one foggy morning and couldnt get the gear up.(remained down and lokced) Both FE and copilot swore the pins were out, and was confirmed when we found them. We pulled breakers, recycled, and even tried manually moving the valve. Nothing... .On this lukcy day we had 2 FE`s. So he comes half-asleep up and ask what the problem is. Turns out he saw the bird in the hangar the day before ON JACKS. So he explaines how they strangle the Hydraulic star-valve when recycling the gear on ground. He casually adds: They just turned it the wrong way when they were done, thus lockwiring it closed iso. open. . .So he dutifully climbed down into the Hyd Serv. Center and opened the right valve...
The tech controller bought the beer, somewhat redheaded.
