Sitting in the lounge looking at the plane we were due to depart on when the tannoy announced our flight was delayed for a technical fault. Naturally you look at your plane - we watched an engineer carrying step ladders walk to the plane, and then produced some masking tape from his pocket which he proceeded to stick over a small circular cover and then returned whence he came! So much for maintenance.Once in a whilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03420486360706752316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883361505344244113.post-35675602016624887382010-03-11T01:59:17.923-07:002010-03-11T01:59:17.923-07:00Noted your liking for control tower quips and read...Noted your liking for control tower quips and read them sitting in the study.

They flew by the tower to get a visual to ensure that the front gear was in fact down. The chatter probably went something like this, <br />Yes, flight 666, it appears your gear is down but we cannot determine if it is locked. We'll let you know for sure when you've reached your gate.Watchmanhttp://www.access-nevada.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7883361505344244113.post-71324610605879143822010-03-01T08:30:00.867-07:002010-03-01T08:30:00.867-07:00Cute quips!
