...also not JK.
I was just kidding anyway. I did hear about that incident now that I think about it. Some of those lease 727s were not what one could say were in perfect mechanical shape, to say the least.

Seems we had a lot of problems at ORD, even back when I was still there. Not too long after I left, they lost a section of one the flaps on the approach, that landed in the back yards of one of the biggest opponents of ORD. Now that took some skill. And the guy flying received a lot of kidding from me, including a copy of the initial NTSB report, in colour and framed that I gave him.

He loved it, thought it was hilarious.
