john tullamarine,
I'm with you. During my five years on the 72, I met many guys who stated over a beer that they did greasers every landing, but failed miserably to demonstrate that in practice. I saw very few actual greasers during that 5 years. But what a lovely, lovely aeroplane!
And they had 5 hostesses!! (yes, hostesses in those days before PC)
zube,
I don't understand the crack about the F/E's. Generally speaking they were a great bunch of blokes, and many a good time was had in their company. Okay, they had a habit of blocking any good looking female visitor to the cockpit from getting past their desk. And they also had a habit of leading innocent young f/o's into too many watering holes, but generally they were a great asset to the operation.
