I have a cunning plan to get Jerry out of the sky. His own hubris would help work him into it, even. Get this: airborne trap-shooting. Plane flies at shooter's station from random direction towing a plain white target streamer (think WW2-Korean War-era aerial gunnery training). Now do that, but aim ahead so the engines ingest tons of little steel balls. "Well, yeah. I could definitely pull that off! Don't shoot at my plane, hyuk hyuk."

Of course he's the kind of egotist that would repeat a "joke" at his expense. He wants that attention.

quote:In his autobiography, test pilot Tex Johnston describes a Dutch roll incident he experienced as a passenger on an early commercial 707 flight. As the aircraft's movements did not cease and most of the passengers became ill, he suspected a misrigging of the directional autopilot (yaw damper). He went to the cockpit and found the crew unable to understand and resolve the situation. He introduced himself and relieved the ashen-faced captain, who immediately left the cockpit feeling ill. Johnston disconnected the faulty autopilot and manually stabilized the plane "with two slight control movements".

Extremely believable. The ferries out of China run "How to be a tourist" videos explaining how to wait in line, not to climb on things, follow signs, not to smoke everywhere, etc. Literally millions of people who have never left their block are now able to travel so there are some broader cultural norms to learn. I can totally believe someone boarding via airstairs thinking this was a lucky coin situation.

So now instead of firing frozen turkeys into an engine during testing, you'll have a Rip Taylor tossing up couch change into the intakes like confetti.

When a jetway isn’t used, station an employee by the engines—not simply to stop people from throwing money into the engines, but to accept the money as a donation to the airline.

It would probably be good for world peace if aircraft engines could be redesigned to run in pure money instead of petroleum products.

I recall having heard also of an AP intentionally fodding an engine out because he had aiworthiness concerns about an aircraft that were overruled by all authorities at his MRO, I do not have sources on hand for that one

Do you have the whole thing in high res? The early jet age, between 1945 and about 1960, is just the best.

I had an uncle who was an aeronautical engineer from post-war till the 80s and this is reminding me that at one point he gave me some of his collection of small poster sized (like 24x18-ish) promotional prints of a bunch of planes from the era. I hung them in my room like the huge nerd that I was and now have zero recollection of what happened to them, but I'm guessing it involved a garbage bag once girls started to come over.
