Sir, have you been drinking?

Why, is there a fat girl in the back seat?



I don't care who you are...that's funny.

I had the right to remain silent. I just didn't have the ability. . .

With 3 of our 4 engines out, how much further do you think this plane can fly?

All the way to the scene of the crash. . .

That guy is from Orlando. He was a fixture on the local radio stations for years before doing his movie.

Most four-engine aircraft have a problem maintaining altitude with TWO engines failed. You see, the FAA mandates that an airplane in part 121 service needs to be able to maintain a 2.6 degree climb gradient after an engine failure. If you have two engines, then you loose 50% of your power and 80% of your performance. A four engine airplane loses 25% of its power and only 40% of its performance, so four-engine aircraft are allowed to take off at FAR higher weights relative to their total thrust output than twins.

-Go to the airport, and watch airplanes take off. Airbus A300's and Boeing 757's leap off the ground and point their noses WAY high. Then watch a four-engine 747 take off; It appears to barely climb and seems to be clawing its way into the sky. It is. It is probably loaded to the gills with people or cargo.

Blow TWO engines on a 747? You better be VERY LIGHT! Kalitta Air crashed a plane outside Bogota, Colombia last spring when they lost two engines. The Captain had the remaining two engines FIREWALLED. That means wide-open. He still sank slowly into the terrain.

Death of a four-engine airplane, N714CK. I have no idea what this has to do with Larry the Cable guy, but I'll post it anyway. Those brown stains you see above the flight engineers' station? Guess what that is...

I've flown this airplane around the world. It never gave me a lick of trouble. Sad ending to an old friend.

N~

Real nice, Normy.

I'll assume that the brown stains are crap from the engineer?


Jeez, maybe his family would like to see these.



You are a classless *******.
