halas,
Re UA 777 in ASP.
It did overnight in Alice - I spent the evening drinking with the boeing crew by the pool at the pub - the Sheraton if my memory serves me correctly.
They kindly asked my skipper and I to come out to the airport next AM for a look.
BUT - many drinks later I hit the sack and woke up feeling very fuzzy indeed. I rang the skipper to see if he was keen and was kindly told that he was not feeling to well and thanks for the reminder but sleeping in was more prudent. Or words to that effect.
The 777 spent a couple of days doing circuits - including over the pub. Made for an interesting arvo by the pool mending a hangover.

He He, thanks for the story FatEric - very informative, had that nice personal touch to it. 
Thanks for sharing it with us.

P.S > Haven't had any more fuzzy-headed incidents since that day in '96 have you?
