Howling Mad Murdoch - awful airmanship
I was watching the "A-Team" last night and I was horrified to see "howling mad murdoch" take off without performing a full A Check. Unsuprisingly he had to land a few minutes later because he was out of fuel and "somebody has messed with the fuel gauges".
It's an important lesson. Always visually check fuel before take off.
Although it did remind me of another scenario. In "The Day Of The Triffids" if forced to fly to the IOW and surrounded by huge man eating plants what would be worse. Getting airborne without a full A check, or trying to check fuel etc whilst you could see the plants coming onto the airfield ? IOW is only an hour or so away, what would you do in that situtation ?

I watched some Daleks on telly the other day.They are a new variety and they can fly.I wondered if they had a CAA permit, and was there a problem in the London TMA when they all took off together over the Houses of Parliament
I thought the A-Team had destroyed the triffids and I got told by my friend that there's no such things as daleks and they are only make believe and if the A-Team haven't killed all the triffids yet they can get some help from the Power Rangers cos they've got planes with guns and special powers as well.

Looks like the've busted seperation minima to me... Not to mention that lack of nav lights.
Let's just all hope and pray PompeyPaul never discovers Airplane! in the bargain bucket at Blockbuster.
