Only 220 on board eh? Now there are four airlines competing on this patch the pickings certainly are thinner...

Do you really think after JAP123/JA8119 they will half-heartedly check the rear bulkhead and sign off on it?
I would never have known. I just wanted the engineers to be careful...
Yep sarcasm, did you really believe that the engineers check this blog for my tips... sheesh...

Thanks Peter K. I had forgotten about the 727 having tailskids, and I did not realize regarding the 767, and the 737.
My knowledge of such aircraft details is spotty, as I do not have frequent close up viewing access to airports or the aircraft.
I do enjoy visiting / reading this message board since having discovered it, and I also enjoy posting messages and replying to messages on occasion.
Bear with me everyone as I endeavour to learn more about this enjoyable and interesting subject.
Rick G.
