Well Done to the crew on ANZ63 this morning - but what happened ?!
 

Gather ANZ63 had some excitement early this morning - well done on getting it back team !

All in ATC curious as to what happened though ?:confused:

Quadradar perhaps you can fill us all in with what you know?

Now rather bewildered ....
 

Not a thing on pprune or on the news - most odd - would have thought a mayday call well offshore (received / monitored by 2 other aircraft) emergency descent / 1 hour return to terra firma at 10,000 ft would have been newsworthy:(
Is there a news ban on this due to us being encouraged to fly on the national carrier ?
Very strange ....

Sometimes the media just misses stuff.

What type of A/C?.....coming back at 10,000,would indicate to me a pressurization problem.?????.....obviously the outcome was positive,.....A/C have problems everyday....no need to make an issue just because a mayday was heard....:} :}

Couldnt possibly have been a Boeing:} ..was probably one of those lightly engineered french/german built scarebuses:E
Are you ready to come over to the darkside(boeing) Pakeha Boy?:p

Understand it was a baby Boeing.........

Or a BUS,

Heard a frenchy leaving AKL the other day going up for a test flight over coromandal to test pressurisation!:eek:

The above is the truth but i wouldn't have a clue to the real story:ok:

could I suggest that P-Boy refresh his memory on what a 'mayday' call means? :ugh:

Well at least the Eurojet doesn't lose it's roof, or give you a rudder hardover at a bad moment. But then, the french jet has its problems too.

It is becoming clear to me that the safest aircraft in the world comes from Woodford, England. Never lost one to mechanical failure. never killed a pax. Queen loves 'em. Queens idiot son loves to crash 'em...

'One day, lad... all this will be yours..."
"What... the swamp?"

:E :E :E

... great movie.:ok:

NZ 63 is the TBU-AKL service.............and it was a Boeing operating that flight.

Incorrect quote. Prince Herbert's initial response is
"What, the curtains?"


Other gems:
"That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp"

"She's got huuuuuge..... tracts of land!"

Ah but I wasn't quoting, I was paraphrasing... :p

This is a quote though...

"The tenants arrive here, in the entrance hall, are carried along the corridor on a conveyor belt in extreme comfort past murals depicting Mediterranean scenes, towards the rotating knives. The last twenty feet of the corridor are heavily sound-proofed..."

H1...MATE!!!! ..dont get into the Boeing/Airbus thing as Ive flown both...have 1800hrs in the 727 Q 100 model....loved the bloody thing....now you young fellas are in the 757/733 ,thats good ,but dont take piss out of those who flew the "real stuff"....was flying that stuff ,whilst you were still in your "dads bags".....the dark side maybe...but we used to refer to that as "inflight"....kuri bro

amos 2...come on mate!!!!....lets not get too involved here/....a mayday or a pan call is not that hard to understand.....to make the mayday call,and maybe you should refresh your memory.. is something of a serious nature....no news is good news...there was obviously not a serious problem,and most likely a misunderstanding......listen mate, when you fly over the water,international type stuff, let me know...then Ill know that you know what your talking about......those of us that do it on a daily basis,do not take lightly ,a mayday or pan distress call....it is something that we all take seriously...and would without hesitation,respond ...... look up "pan" also....glad I could help....pouri!!!

Pakeha Boy

Now don't come the slippery eel with that 727 crap. I preferred the Trident... now that was real mans aeroplane... especially the IIIb. Real mans knobs and full autoland, not to mention a nice little rocket motor for those hot and highs.

Great moving map display too. For you young guys, the (paper) map really did move, and a little pointer scratched out your path. Pictures available for un believers... :} :} :}

MOR...your right...I get to ride on my "white horse"...now its your turn...and without blowing smoke up your tailpipe.....might I say,that it was/is a fine piece of equipment....guess it all boils down to .....how old you are:} :} :} ...gettng old sucks !!!

Amen to that, cuzzy bro! :}

Are you two joined at the hip?:yuk: :yuk: :yuk:
