Hi all,

My fiance' and I have been selected as one of 5 finalists in a "Fantasy Wedding" contest. During the interview, my fiance spoke frequently that I may love my WRX more than her. Anyway, I would appreciate your vote if you get a chance. We're couple number 4 (Mark and Kim).

Kim's got MY vote, any Gal that will go through a dead-stick and not break off the engatgement is OK in my logbook!

 

BTW, what were you flying ... and what turned it into a glider? Details please, we all hope to learn to improve our flying lore through other's successful experiences.

Engine started thumping before takeoff. About 5 minutes after takeoff BANG BANG. The flight attendants ran to the front, then the captain said we would make an emergency landing. The runway looked like a christmas tree with all of the emergency vehicle lights. Next time I'll question any noises I hear BEFORE TAKEOFF.

mtsmiths - I went back and read the story. The way they worded it sounded like it was my plane. It was a commercial flight.

Well, it did all right. That said, I've been flying pretty much since I was a kid, off and on, and had my license for 25+ years, and the scairdest I've ever been in an airplane was a United Airbus over New Mexico.

 

Other than the cockpit crew, I think I was the onliest one on board to know what was going on ... sometimes it pays to be ignorant.

Hope my vote wasn't to late,

 

anything for a fellow subie nut.

You got my vote also.

 

MtSmiths, that is why I go by the saying, "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going!" Of course I'm a little prejudice being a Boeing engineer (Flight Deck and Functional Test).

Doc RX, was on a DEN > PHX flight and felt a total power-down about a half hour out. All the details are long and convoluted but the net cause was blue screen of death on both the primary and secondary flight computers (A300) sooo, with the aiplane braindead and no connection between the joystick and the feathers no one was flying the machine for over three minutes until they got it to re-boot.

 

We made a precautionary landing at Farmington, NM Used EVERY inch of the runway, than sat in the dead airplane for four hours until they could come and get us in a B-737. The fire dept had to BUILD a scaffold to get us off the airplane.

 

When the relief captain did his cabin call he said "Welcome aboard this fine, reliable American made BOEING".

 

Thank God we were in level cruise at altitude and not in a noise abatement departure when the computers flatlined!

ooooff that was a hard knock at boeing .. glad i only supply the dry ice to help build the planes and such ...

 

 

but given teh same .. situation i bet i would not be very happy ..

hell now that i know ms is behind it... chances are.. even if i could afford it. prolly woul dnot fly on anything that ms powers's but then again

until i .. end up knda flat and hating life on a somekind of landing sight i will prolly still fly til i can afford to

and thankfully i can't afford it hehe

Vote 4 4!
