I know you say that tongue in cheek Bloggs, the -700 is a great little aircraft.

A recent good example is Broome - Perth (fog forcast) carrying Adelaide as an alternate, and could have carried Melbourne, with 143 pax and bags. (even 1 spare seat)

All this and burning less per hour than your 146-100.

Not that poxy.

Bit difficult for see-and-avoid manouvres though?

I know, I know... sorry... but it had to be said!

Really surprised to see new -700's making their way dowunder. We were under the impression that all future new frames would be -800's.

Either way it's encouraging to see the fleet numbers still increasing (slowly).

Capt BB,

Yes, in jest as always. My post has been wiped because I complained about a reply to it from Ty Webb. So the Woom thought it'd be a good idea to remove BOTH posts.

Be draggin' you off soon, I hope.

Bloggs, you can have a go if you want, the only rule is the race will at or above F380, up to F410.

Does that suit you?

Let the race begin.

Basil,

If you ether-suckers want to float around up in the exoshere with the shuttle, feel free! There's only one race: first past the post, no conditions. No rules, no pansies! GO!

OK Bloggs, no altitude restrictions, we have to make it fair for the disadvantaged ones with small wings and no grunt.

How about we make it PER-BNE (40 deg day) with a full load of pax and bags, and go as fast as you want.
By the time you guys make your tech stop, we would be on our tenth beer at the bar. (would you get there in one stop)



GO!

sinala1 only a cadet would make a comment like that! If you couldn’t see this thing (Red markings!!!) then you definitely should keep serving coffee.

You seem to be the expert TL, why dont you tell us all about the Boeing FCOM Bulletin regarding "Nuisance Stall Warning Stick Shaker Events" for 737-600 to -900 airplanes.

Tosser!

...and about now, we start the titfertat - the "Fores", the "fumes in the terminal", the "what's the lowest hill near Cantberra?"..........and on it runs.
Onya D & G (mind you, it breaks the boredom!!).

Congratulations on your 50th, VB - may your competition aspire to rise to the challenge!!

BA50,
I asked him that last week but he ignored me. Perhaps he doesn't wear his glasses when on Prune and hasn't noticed...
