Isn't anyone going to mention that three-engined airliner that staggered back to MIA on one engine, due to leaking oil filters?

That wasn't oil filters, it was chip detectors. I'm sure we could make a new thread for those.
I doubt we could make an engine or aircraft simple enough that some half-conscious bubba couldn't put something back together without all the required pieces installed in the correct locations (o-rings, in this case).

Was that your place with the large, white letters on the roof, letting all who happened to glance down and to the right while on short final for 26R, know how you felt about YVR?

Nope!!!

My place was close to the Lansdowne Mall. Always got a chuckle at the roof sign when passing overhead. :lol:

YVR was good to me - when I got into this game there wasn't even a fence around it and to get to the terminal you had to drive across one of the taxi strips - old terminal was only thing there. Real airlines like Canadian Pacific and Pacific Western lived there along with a whole bunch of smaller companies - pretty much all of that is history now. Those were better days IMHO than now with it fenced in and mall cops everywhere!!

Fly safe everyone

Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu - be quiet - or the Colonel will post another thread about "I Hate Chip Detectors" and use that example (ignoring how the human failure to correctly install is the issue - not the mechanical item) to validate why no evil chip detectors will ever be installed on one of his engines. :prayer:


OOOOOPs - to late - he has seen it!!! :roll:
