What stupid airplane antics have I recently participated in that would warrant the query? My name is Andrew, and I used to fly that airplane in the early 2000s. Its a great airplane.

Obviously, the main similarity will be the actual aeroplanes (er, airplanes) youll fly. Other irritations may be not only landing fees but being charged for a practice approach (even if you dont actually touch the tarmac) and the price of fuel. And speaking of tarmac, be prepared to meet some very crumbly taxiways and shabby runways.

May 27, 2024 IT WAS THE FRIDAY of Memorial Day weekend, 1979. It was a friend from school.

In the meanwhile we were slowly but surely cooking on the 39° hot tarmac while we did not want to drink too much as that might lead to having to find toilet solutions in the next leg of the flights … Two nice fuel guys offered us fresh cold water and we nevertheless took it. A follow-me car brough us to our stands: almost 8 hours of flight.
