Seriously, how did that engine start its self, then power up?

Spent the day (on RSV) looking at all the great pictures. Some awesome shots. The only thing I know for sure... Adler lives a far more interesting life than myself.

Such a beautiful machine! Miss flying on them!

Probably had continuous ignition selected and didn't move the thrust levers to cutoff or hit the fire button before exiting

While mapping in LCH two of these things flew in and stayed the night. When we came in for the day there were a bunch of military guys standing around one of them scratching their head wondering what to do. Well that night there was a nice storm that came through and lightning hit one of their helos, going through it and blowing out a pot hole under it.

Apparently the lightning strike fried everything in it.

phone call..." Hey boss, remember that NEW helo you wanted us to ferry...Well....."

It's a little too cold to fly today...

NEW??? Maybe in the '60s! The Marines received their last CH-46 in 1971.

What's that your captaincy? Must be something wrong with this intercom....

Must have been overhauled. They said it had 20 hours on it. Maybe the engine?

This just about sums up my vacation. A big thanks to @Polar742 and @Nick for helping me with the jumpseat process! I got to fly on a barely year old Boeing 747-8 and it was the most comfortable ride I've done to Hong Kong!

Just FYI.... I've flown that jet. Landed it, and it's still usable.

Glad you enjoyed the ride...

You wouldn't happen to have seen a G-IV ending in LH down there recently, would you?
