Flew back from Toronto to Gatwick in 1993 with Air Transat on a 757. Near the end of the flight I asked a flight attendant if I could have a drink of water, to which he replied, off handedly, I could get some from the toilet. I wasn’t sure if he meant the tap or the bowl :eek:.
There are some good stories at work from some of our Assembly & Integration engineers that have accompanied some of the satellites we build to launch sites in Russian in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. Not sure how true they are.
On entering the a/c the stewardess were standing by the door having a quick tab & chatting. They stayed there during take off hanging on to the partion.
Half of ones seat belt was missing, but being an engineering type he found enough “bits” on the floor to secure it. He found the toilet inflight by following the smell.
As one read a book he noticed the letters on the page moving, turned out to be fleas, allegedly from the blanket he had been given.
One flight, upon landing the fire engines were ready & followed them down the runway at speed. They had to wait before they could leave the aircraft until the fire service had extinguished the brake fire – standard practice apparently – saves a bit of money on brake pads.
