LOL…. I used to pray then applaud every time I flew Dan-air… :p
G-BBAH, I flew this aircraft in ’82, LHR to Malta…. My first Jet flight. I sill have the BA junior jet club book somewhere…..
OK, longwinded but here we go, about 10 years ago I started Carpetbagging building societies and mutual insurers by putting £100 in an account and wailing for them to convert to PLC’s thus releasing shares and cash to members. I have bagged over £10,000 !!!!
I used to belong to a carpetbagging forum (hense the bag) and when I came to register I was eating Cheese on toast at the time, thus the Cheese bit!!!
Nothing to do with aviation I know, but it’s stuck.
Most exotic for me has got to be a Taesa DC10 (now with mytravel!!!)
We flew from Manchester to Cancun back in 1996 when the airtours 763 (leased from Spanair) went tech at Orlando.
Airtours flew in the Taesa DC10 just to operate this flight, it was surreal. The flight crew were mainly mexican blokes with 70’s porn star moustaches. If you looked between the panels you could see the wires hanging!!!!
I’ve vowed never to fly on a DC10 again, and to this day I have kept my promise. 😮 😀
I’ve been many times, in fact I’m on the BY flight to FAO tomorrow morning at 06-10 from BHX….Typical of med type airports, built on a large yellow metal substructure. A viewing roof (not good views but you get a good tan…..) If you go upstairs to the left of the retaurant you can see the arrivals baggage all through glass windows.
I’ll be doing the same a week on Thursday, should have an hour to burn in the morning- should I just stick to the viewing gallery in that time?
I’ll give you a wave, I’m flying out to Faro this Thursday for a week on BY 752, we depart at 06-10 so should land back a week on Thursday at 12-45
Went on a 732 BY in those colours back in ’86 BHX-FAO, can’t remember the reg although I think it was nicknamed “sir Frances Chichester”
