Etihad F1 Flyby

Duck your heads boys and girls. The three lowest time pilots in Etihad will be showing their dash and skill at the race day tomorow.

The PIC got less than 200 hrs last year.

Why don't they ever reward an experienced line guy with some fun?

Best of luck to Frank The Comb and Allie Iftar.

Very Simple Manoeuvre

Gents it's just a simple fly by. No big deal. Actually pretty boring. Best view is still from the stand. Give us a break. Enjoy the F1.

Because if the low timers can't fly they'll never become "experienced" old farts...

And I am guessing this all took place before the new 'Head of Emissions' has arrived?

Hey I think Frank and Allie did a good job. The 320 was a dissapointment.
Looked like AP1 did most of the work.

As to letting line pilots do the flyby's, hey If I was boss I would take the Jam jobs as well. If they want to spread the wealth let a line F/O be the gear puller at least.

Just an observation (and nothing more ).
Where was JH when they were handing out the awards to the drivers after the race? At GF he was there on the podium with his cheshire cat grin next to the sheiky!

Must have been the same "expert" who announced that "an aircraft of Jumboline Airways" had crashed near Zurich, when he actually meant an AVRO (aka Jumbolino).

If it's bigger than "small", owned by an airline, and has no propellers, it's commonly known to be a "Jumbo Jet".

Was watching the BBC in the UK, and had to laugh when it was referred to as the 'Emirates Jet', of the 'local airline'. Don't think the sponsors would be too impressed though
