This is the second one. First was last Friday. Been peering at the TOC, haven't spotted it yet.

It's scheduled to leave BFI at 1300 on the 3rd. After hours of rolling down the runway, it will eventually tail strike and struggle up to around 1000 feet, then doddle around the SEA area for a few hours until it can finally muster up enough steam to clear the cascades. Meanwhile the FO will lose his left knee cap to the trim wheel, but his screams will go unnoticed due to the volume of the wind noise. Most responses to ATC will be "HUH??" or "PLEASE REPEAT" for the same reason.

Eventually, it will land in ATL, striking the tail again despite a Vref speed of 185 knots, and despite using 27R, will still roll off the end of the runway into the parking lot. It will finally be delivered to the TOC a week later via a couple cranes and flatbeds. The pilots will high five each other for a successful delivery of a 757 replacement.

That's true. I'm very good at putting out mediocre stuff you won't remember most of the time and a couple gems here and there. Just ask my wife, hey-o!

Dallas-based Delta wants 25 slot pairs that they were force to shift to Narita airport in 1978. Narita airport, located 40 miles east of Tokyo, has less attractiveness to business travellers as compared to Haneda, which is located in the heart of the city.

Morons.

Delta is based in Mon-Row, Louisiana!
