So my bud sent me this. It's the guy's last ride on a 707. Pretty neat.



I of course countered with one of test pilot Johnstone.

I'd give both your testicles for a 707. One with the noisy, smokey engines
that says, "Fuck you, David Suzuki! Fuck you, people that bought a house
near the airport then started complaining about the noise!"

I like to phone up my nearby airport and complain about the noise - there
isn't enough airplane noise, and could they fix that right away?

If I could afford it I'd buy Shiny a nice Havard so we could fly over the runway at Skyranch in Okatoks.

Not sure my video has the street cred of yours, but:



I'm sorry, but for me, a video of someone flying an Airbus is like
a video of someone fucking a blowup doll. Some people might
get off on watching that, but no thanks.

Back in the day of the "classic" jets unbalanced field length was common. I spoke to a guy who flew 72 out of Guam and in the south pacific and rotation at the numbers was very common. I saw Stirling 727 takeout a few of the approach lites at frob on rotation. Max gross at about 213,000 lbs. Strangely the runway shrunk by 500 feet after that -- going from 9000 to 8500 feet.

They had hundreds of feet to go there. I like the comments.
