Most of Amflights planes have a nice paint job, and are even cleaned at least each spring. They look clean from afar, just be careful when ducking underneath to inspect anything. Your white shirt......not so white anymore.
I swear the BUR based 99 that comes back in the morning from OAK is dirtier just from going through there!You didn't spend any time in OAK I take it.
Either of you guys fly 134PM? The hours and cyles=LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!![]()
Yup. I can say I set a record once.34AK had way more time and cycles than any of the other 99s. Every time that bird flew it set a new record.
Maybe another pilot checking "T" check in flight?134PM was what I saw at KSAN yesterday. I flew that plane quite a bit. What a super pile... One of the HWD guys was flying it to BUR at night and had an engine grenade it's self over Bakersfield. Which was the exact same scenario that happened a year before in another 99. Weird..
False. The BE99 requires yoga classes 3 times a week in order to contort oneself out of the "door". It's more of a full time used emergency exit. The pilot must do a 6 step process of putting hands out, contorting ones neck, then shoulders, then sort of a roll. At that point the pilot must figure out a way to step out without tripping or falling face first. If you were luck to install the latter correctly, then you will not plummet to your death. Extra steps must be taken when raining to insure that you don't step on the seat and have a wet ass for the rest of the day. A preflight briefing for the FO is in order on a day with precipitation as well.The B99 has a crew door with a removable ladder that lets out next to the left engine. If there is no cargo in the back you can exit the aircraft through a crew door back to the airstairs or cargo door.

Weekly appointments with the chiropractor after 3000lbs a day that you load/unload.False. The BE99 requires yoga classes 3 times a week in order to contort oneself out of the "door".

How long until you get your hundo?I'm back in the 99...so true I about fell trying to get my fat butt in it.
I wasn't THAT out of shape. It's not too taxing to "ask" the FO to help unload. And they pay for the privilege.Weekly appointments with the chiropractor after 3000lbs a day that you load/unload.
My problem was, I'm tall enough, there's no way to be in the back of that thing and have my back in a correct lifting position.I wasn't THAT out of shape. It's not too taxing to "ask" the FO to help unload. And they pay for the privilege.
