Last time I made a reference to a certain 2006 action film starring Samuel L. Jackson, I got a three‐day probation, so this time I won’t say anything about how the TV dub is the superior version.

FunOne posted:The mother-father snakes? It's why the 747 was the go-to jetliner Odd sidebar, I saw both mid-90s action films starring a 747 and some other people recently, Air Force 1 and Executive Decision. Executive Decision actually surprised me at how entertaining it was. Air Force One suffered endless digressions into overblown action sequences. Also in Executive Decision once gunfire happens the plane depressurizes and a entire wall section tears away, AF1 starts with about as much gunfire as a standard Vietnam engagement and zip. Yay Kurt Russell landing a 747 and it going poorly, boo evacuating Harrison Ford via a loving zipline The Stealth transport aircraft was hilariously stupid, but look at the writer actually understanding matching the pressurization of the 747 was important

LOL, I love how it gets into the plane and you're immediately confronted with more stairs to climb. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure one of the Air Force One planes at the USAF Museum had an elevator installed for FDR to get on board. Or at least some kind of rickety 1940's wheelchair lifting mechanism.

At the FDR home museum you can check out the hand-pulley operated lift he used to get around the different house floors. He was pretty strong apparently and could hoist himself with ease.

C.W. Lemoine in his last funded flight was quite sad. I have been watching him for a few years. Average music choice but I feel for the dude, he clearly loves his job. He seems like an OK dude, I assume he isn't a massive chud (or at least keeps politics away from his videos). His mate Gonky I haven't paid much attention to over the years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yii8vrvxUfI

hobbesmaster posted:I don’t know what it was about them but the United and Delta 744s just looked so tired circa the mid 2010s despite having coats of paint from mergers that were like 5 years old. The upper deck exterior especially seemed to just get filthy fast. they were old and they had lived a hard life; all of those mergers represented financial instability and underinvestment in the fleet i never got on a DAL 747, which was pretty surprising given my general volume of travel

The Korean air 747-8s are suuuuuper nice upstairs, I was disappointed when we arrived where we were going. 15 hours is not bad in business class on one of those birds.

I few in a 747 once, a Lufthansa 44 from EDDF-YVR in 2018. Upstairs. The layflat pods were darn near identical to the A350, which was not a bad thing, pretty comfortable. I remember being surprised with the, I guess, "chief steward" is what I would call him. He made an absolute point of meeting everyone, addressing them by name. Spoke to Mrs and I for about 10 minutes before we even departed. He had his own little office at the base of the stairs which he showed me and was super nice. IIRC the menu and service in general was great. I specifically planned the route/time so I could fly in one, not knowing the next opportunity I might have. Turns out, it was probably the only time.

I did FRA-HKG a couple of years ago in 1A on the LH 748, was very good. Also BOS-FRA and return on the 744 upper deck shortly before they left the LH fleet; what a difference from the UA 744. Only real issue was LH's tendency to run the cabin temp at two bajillion degrees.

Many countries have similar laws.

It was Pan Am 103, Maid of the Seas. 1977. I have no idea why they served me, and at 14, I didn't care. I'd been going into bars for about a year while living in southern France, so maybe the fact that I asked first, stated my age, sounded reasonable and behaved myself had something to do with it.hobbesmaster posted:“It was the 70s” would seem to be explanation enough.
