More in that vein . . .

Problem: "The autopilot doesn't."
Signed off: "It does now."

Problem: "IFF inoperative."
Solution: "IFF always inoperative in OFF mode."

Problem: "Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick."
Solution: "That's what they're there for."

There is also a hangar with a couple really nice F-5E's next to it too, on the military side. We parked there and were wandering around waiting for anyone to come and greet us. We wandered into a pretty nice hangar, after admiring the old C-47 on the line, and saw the 3 F-5's sitting pretty in the hangar. We were shooed out by a very serious Thai MP after a few minutes. Find out later they were the Crown Prince's jets, he likes to go flying every so once in a while......They stop all traffic when he taxi's, takes off and lands. "It's good to be the King......."....or the Crown Prince..........:icon_smil

By the way ... that's incorrect. :)


Quantas has a zero airframe loss record, not a zero accident record. They banged up an airframe once so bad that they it should have been a write off, but they repaired it at a higher cost than a replacement would have been just so they could maintain that zero airframe loss record.

Flying around the Gulfport area today, I heard the following over the radio:
Center (female controller): "XXXX, cleared direct PENSI, Papa Echo November India Sierra."
Pilot (supressing laughter): Center, XXXX, cleared direct...PENIS?

Nothing like a PENSI joke to brighten up your day.

Yea, HT-18 went by Factory Hand. I’m not sure why, I’m sure there is history to it but I didn’t take the time to find out.
HT-8 used to be "pillowcase". How's that for emasculating?

Anybody that's ever been to Thailand know that safety is not exactly the number 1 priority there. Just ask the lady riding a moped barefoot with all 4 kids hanging on for their lives as she drives down the 1 way street the wrong way. An hourly occurance there.
