#1 Dang! Now where did we put that posting on those German made paraglider thingies anyways? They may become a fashion accessory when traveling on foreign flag carriers soon!

#3 flew in Ruskie [USSR] passenger prop aircraft and jets waaaay back in the 60's. Although they weren't terminative flights, they left a terminal kink in the back.

#4 Flew in a Tupelov through rain. Had water dripping on me while the heater burned my feet.

#6 Yep. Just thinking about what the overhead wiring conduits looked like gave me the shakes. No wonder the Russians clap and cheer every landing.

#7 "No wonder the Russians clap and cheer every landing."

LOL. I hope you've either found alternative carriers - or stopped going where AeroFlop is the only one. I can't think of a good reason to continue tempting fate, LOL.

#8 Notice that the lone American-made plane DID make it safely back to the barn.

#9 Just noticed the lead-in graphic. Funny movie.

Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.

Ted Striker: Mayday! Mayday!
Steve McCroskey: What the heck is that?
Johnny: Why, that's the Russian New Year. We can have a parade and serve hot hors d'oeuvres...
