I was on the team that certified the first 777 aircraft.
That is probably the most robust and safe airplane ever designed and built.
Some ting wong, we too lo, and Holy Fuk cart wheeled one at SFO and it was still in one piece.
If you don’t maintain it, it may break.
it will still get you down.
DEI is not working with people that won’t follow the rules.
ESG doen’t make safe aircraft
and profit for shareholders should never trump safety.
I thought that was the DC-3?
You certified a gem. It was my favorite to fly.
I hold many aviation records in that airplane. That’s a shallow boast. Many of us share that record. Newark to Hong Kong was the longest commercial airline flight for a long time until Singapore Airlines started flying JFK-SIN.
My all time overall favorite is the 757-200. It looks sexy, is very capable, and you flew it like you were wearing it like a glove.
Now the DC-3 was fun and all, but it was a handful to fly.
