Happy birthday from me too - even if Mrs PC to be does fancy you (and not cause you're a pilot)

Hope to see John flying for many years yet !

ANY pilot who can master the B707-138B (with its tail wagging parrallel yaw damper...OFF at 1000agl, like it or not, and many didn't ) has an ace up his sleeve.
Good on you, JT.

Many years ago was asked about flying this machine LGAT-KHOU and advised that they would be dry tanks by KFLL...and so they found out one year later..nearly. Landed with 3000 pounds remaining, and lucky to be alive.

Silly fools...

As I found out here a few years ago, the Prince of Wales ran off the runway at Islay in a BAe-146 whilst going to get a 50th birthday ceremonial cask of Laphroaig. Hope John Travolta's luck is better!

I'm jealous of the guy for one thing only..........

.....he got to dance with Olivia Newton-John in that dumb Grease film with her "dressed" in that tight, black outfit.

So jealous, it hurts !

I know one of the blokes who flew with him in the right hand seat is a ppruner so it could be that JT knows about this site.


QAR ASR..... Why bother posting if you have nothing constructive to say? If you don't like the guy/this thread than stay away from it. Leave it to people who respect the guy and there are loads out there whether you like it or not.
