JediMaster Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Tried to UL this to the gallery, but I had some issues. Maybe local proxy filter, not sure. Anyway, it's a common enough plane, just landing in an uncommon place. Quote
+Dave Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Actually JM is is a very common stop. We have USAF airtrans people over there to handle them. One of my troops is getting assigned there for 2 years. Quote
JediMaster Posted February 14, 2008 Author Posted February 14, 2008 Yes, but there aren't a lot of pics of it! The volcanic landscape is what makes it unique. I had some pics of some Tornados there, but they were pretty blurry and crappy. I just hope I don't have to go there! One of the techs I work with took this pic because he volunteered to go there for 3 weeks while the other came out for vacation. I NEVER want to go. A 12 hr flight with another 3 hr leg? Ugh. I can barely stand to fly to Vegas from Atlanta, and that's less than 4 on a MUCH nicer plane. Stupid DC-8s. Quote

Talk about a long flight. Quote
JediMaster Posted February 14, 2008 Author Posted February 14, 2008 You'll never get me on a transatlantic flight, let alone transpacific! Now if it's a suborbital shot that does it in an hour, fine, otherwise... Quote
Rambler 1-1 Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 back in the 80's a DC-10 "landed" (read- "fell") at our itty-bitty little 7300 foot airport. It left 3 footprints where It "touched" (read- "stomped") down and it almost overran. Luckily, It was able to get off again the next week, after repairs were executed. Quote
