I got one...Flying sub-service for an African Airline in a B-727 w/ fuel gauges in lbs. Flight planning done by host airline, but in French with kgs for the fuel...So far, no problem, right? Any Capt should be able to work that one out...only problem I had come down with a terrible case of "food poisioning" from the night before and probably shouldn't have been flying...So I asked the F/O (who was fluent in French, BTW) to review the Flt Plan and fuel load etc.
When I get out of the can he says all's OK, so off we go...25 min into a 45 min flt we find the destination below min w/ heavy rain...heading for the hold, you guessed it, the FE says we don't have enough fuel...
Straight to the alternate, which also had heavy rain and a spotty VOR approach...1 chance to make it, no need to brief the miss, etc...We made it and #2 flamed out on the taxi in...we didn't even have enough fuel to get the APU started...
Lots of reasons for this near accident, but the biggest one was the flight plan was for a 737, not 727...(The host airline operated 737's exclusively)...
Don't know if this is what your looking for, but for me just one more fond memory of flying in Africa...
