What memories. Please pass the bottle and the pistol.

Thankfully, I eventually wound up in the 727. I can use those memories to assuage my scarred and sordid past.

The Skypig didn't even rate a red carpet. Green is foreshadowing the upcoming facial colors of it's paying guests.

Hadn't been in the Whale NG since 2000. Empty jet 9th hour into the flight we had our jackets and blankets around us with 3 to 4 hours to go.

Whats wrong with asking a young attractive FA to come to the cockpit to help you stay warm?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - so that's up to you.
But on the 400 a "young" Fa has been flying the line while JFK was a president not an airport.

Yeah but think of how much more experienced she (or he, if thats your bag) in keeping pilots warm in the cockpit.

The Whale is one of those legacy airplanes like the 727, J-3, Lear 25, Concorde (for the chosen few!), P-51, or F-4 that makes one glad to say "I flew that."

You forgot DC-3 : )
