2 more angles ...





Almost 0 fuel , 5 onboard , no payload . May even qualify for this months comp.
The Oxford dictionary describes aerobatics as "skilfull and exciting movements performed in an aircraft for entertainment " makes no mention of type or size .

A skillful and exciting movement in an aeroplane... try sitting on the lavatory in turbulence!
But very nice shots as usual Marty. Got one with jato's on it?

Thanks JK .... I have tried sitting on that bloody loo many times

How much runway did you use to get airborne?

Not much .... almost 0 fuel , 5 onboard , cant recall the flap setting .... full power , hold her on the brakes until they start to slip ...... and away, she just floats up , yoke hard back , gear up , and their you go .......
I'll do it again and give you the flap settings .
I was airborne before the first turn off on that heading ... 036 i think.

Oh yes .... "the Devon" not a good one to get caught short on. The old Andover was another one .... potty directly opposite the galley ... nice

And if you fell off the loo on the Bristol Frightener you landed on the battery pack!

Can recall a few freighter trips ... but never had to use the loo .... cheers JK for the memories.

The Bristol's for S.A.F.E air were an other , oh crap !

Still reckon the Devon was the worst one .... only ever had one flight , and thank goodness didn't need it.

Could be a whole new thread .... aircraft bogs

OH SHITE ... STINK! .. I start thinking about one off those ole Humphrey Bogart movies ... Frankly my Dear ..
