Saw something a bit similar. Flying Heathrow to Jo'burg, when you looked out of one window there were 2 engines, when you looked out the other side there were 3 engines. They had strapped a spare one to the wing which had to be delivered to Frankfurt so we had a short stopover there (free orange juice, weee!)“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -

When we were flying back from Florida mid-Feb we encountered a huge storm over the Northwest American coast. There was a bit of turbulence and then the pilot said we'd have to go round it. The view of the storm at night, from above and to the side; the clouds in a huge circle, lit from underneath with lightning going through the centre was one of the most awe-inspiring things I've ever seen.Last edited by Lockhouse; 18 November 2009, 08:08....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

About 6 weeks ago, just as we're coming into land, the pilot announces that it's going to be an instrument only landing, as there's thick fog at the airport. I did not find this reassuring.
And then just a couple of weeks ago, plane comes into land, then pulls up at the last minute. The pilot announces that the fog was too thick for him to land - and that the plane didn't have the equipment for an instrument only landing. He did manage to land ten minutes later. I was unphased by the whole thing, thanks to 1.5l of airport beers and about 70cl of inflight wine.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
