[Pics] And you were worried about lead paint?

Doing such a thing might be acceptable to ferry the aircraft to a maintanance facility to have the inoperative engine replaced. (So long as the plane has 3 or more engines and only one is inoperative.) But a revenue flight is right out.

It could have looked a lot better and they would have still been entitled to ground it

If it needed 3 engines replacing before it was airworthy then no Line Aircraft Mechanic in his/her right mind would have released the plane otherwise.

I fail to see the funny side of an aircrew so reckless or badly trained that they would even attempt to operate an aircraft in such a state.

Well I think it's hilarious. Have a chill pill.

Another example of a high flying executive being plane greedy. Oh well, he'll have to appeal to his fans for more money and tighten his belt.

I give up.......

My Grandfather was contracted to move from Torquay to Johannesburg back in the early 70's, and he did this exactly.

Designed blades for every type of engine under the sun, we still to this day have perfectly polished blades as ornaments dotted around the house.

Come on now, stop hanging about!

It's ok, he was terminal....

The puns are flying in thick & fast, but there's no need to run(a)way or hanger yourself, Matt!

I landed on this thread after seeing a recent reply on iSpy, so I thought I'd check in.

Seems like the thread is causing a lot of turbulence...

This is getting plane silly. What we need is a few sensible replies so the thread can take off from where it started.
