I was more curious who you flew with, since realistically you'd have had to do your commercial flying in the 90s and 00s, and the 727 was largely being replaced by the 737-300/400/500/600s at that time.

Which is why I was curious, since they aren't as common anymore.

Well I have a lot of stories, but I don't want to bore you with them.

The last time I flew for them we lost all hydraulics and It took all our might to control the aircraft, we could'nt stop the plane on the runway and went off the end in Billings...I got out the back door, called the company, told them where they could find their plane, got a room at Country Inn & Suites, and flew home on my own the next day..That was it.

You lost all hydraulics - everything? I assume you landed gear up as well then?

You could have stopped before this bit, really I bet there are a bunch of women who could quite easily kick your arse

You know what, if I hadn't read your other posts, I would have reacted like a bull in a china shop, but since I know you're a wind up, I'm not going to waste my energy

Many of you guessed the ID of the troll. It was fun while it lasted but then he grew tiresome so we had to cut him loose.

I'm kind of dissapointed I didn't get the chance to ask the aviation questions I had planned to catch him out on his commercial pilot lark

OK, was just curious because that was the only guess I had seen posted.

Can't believe I wasted my 1,000th post on him though
