Fire in the hole.........

a non-event hot start........now if you want real fun I had the starter motor fly out of the nacelle on a 737-300 with Continental long ago in the dark ages. Now that was a sight, the sparks flew and it looked like somebody hit the nacelle with a chain saw. Even more fun were the hot starts on the really old F-27 Fairchilds particularly the wimpy "B" models. Fuel would puddle in that big exhaust stack and then not only light off with a nice bang but would DRIP flames down to the ramp...........LOL........talk about some bug eyed folks ready to get out and walk.........but it was all in good fun and they all made it fine........unfortunately no IPHONE videos back then so hardly anybody knew about it.............
