Three US astronauts touched down in Emirates' First Class Lounge this week before lifting off again on flights to Houston and New York.
  • Neil Armstrong - the first man on the moon.
  • Jim Lovell - Commander of the Apollo 13 mission.
  • Gene Cernan - the last man on the moon.
met with Emirates' Divisional Senior Vice President Flight Operations, Captain Alan Stealey in Emirates' Terminal 3 First Class Lounge to exchange anecdotes on flying, the advances in aviation technology and where they each see the future of the aviation industry.

Although vastly different in terms of aircraft the four aviators share a passion for flying and between them the group have done enough kilometres to circle the earth well over a hundred times. The three astronauts were travelling through Dubai from Kabul on a USO (United Service Organisation) sponsored trip in conjunction with Armed Forces Entertainment.



So what do you think Alan might be saying to them.... ?!

Could he be saying

"Well chaps. We have a lot of astronauts here in Emirates too. They come from Orstralia"

Sorry Ozmates - couldn't resist that one

You guys look in pretty good shape! Would you like a job? We can start you in the right seat of an A330. Just glorified button pushing, just like your Apollo days...

Not Happy

My guess Alan is saying: "Well guys, it is a good thing that you are here for a few hours only. This is a place where you would not want to be any longer, believe me. I may look happy with my smile and fancy clothes, but I am cought by the neck (and the balls) with bonds and other suffocating tools. I wish you could take me away with you!!"

She had pretty intriguing nips. One here...and one here...but her BMI was over 17 so we sacked her.

TCAS to Astronauts, when asked how he manages to run an airline in Dubai......

"Simple really, just get a bunch of idiot compliant pilots together, don't allow them any form of representation, convince them how wonderful their job is then shaft them senseless with meaningless contracts and crap rostering. After all, it's not rocket science ......."

Not bad sheik and WK...precisely 11 replies before both of you hijacked a light-hearted thread and started childishly abusing each other.
