Three years ago today I was the flight engineer for the last and final flight of an American registered 727-100 freighter. Its first flight was on July 18, 1967, and its last flight was on February 5, 2012. It operated for United, FedEx, Kelowna Flightcraft, and IFL during its long career.

We have had 29.70 inches of rain so far for January. A little blue sky was nice to see.

Man, that thing looks tired. How long was the list of MEL's?
That the Garret powered Van?
That one is the first Garrett Van. It was the AeroTwin prototype for their STC. It is a A model (sn#22) with the TPE331-12JR de-rated to 850hp. We also have a Grand with the AeroTwin 950 conversion.That the Garret powered Van?
What effect is better, color swap or B/W paint? Really bored at Detroit metro.![]()

Kind of like every Yankee and Giant fan?Pride over what?
Lots of interweb videos this week of Seattle fans acting WAAAAAAAAAY to emotional over a game.
So to give you an idea, I worked the ramp with those. The ramp was pitted where the tail and gear was due to drips. We had a problem with the rudder one night and I had to help mx with the belt loader get up to his panel. 30 minutes at -35 ish temp and a wind of around 20 kts. Got back inside, my hands felt cold. The skydrol had eaten through it, about 2 inches of nylon and padding. I didn't even realize it. That stuff is serious business. I walked around a lot wider after that. That also explained the hats, as they would get frayed easily and fall apart. Hats lasted a lot longer once I started walking wide.Let me put it this way. A new pilot shirt was lucky to make it five hours without getting a hydraulic or oil stain. We were advised not to linger under the engines or tail in an effort to avoid the drips.

The football team.I despise the Yankees. You see, I'm not a front runner. Are you talking about the NY Football Giants? Or the baseball team?
The football team.
Ahhhhh, we know we sucked this year. You don't see our fans tackling TVs because of a stupid play call.
