geriatrickid Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 What is the derelict B747 doing at Udon Thani airport? The engines are removed. Is it for training purposes? Do you have a pic? No sir, but it is all grayish white and easily seen from the departure area windows. I'll take a pic next month when I pop back up. Oddest thing. I think it was an old TG, but there are no markings. According to this it is an abandoned 1-2- Go former KLM jumbo http://www.i-nomad.net/2010/07/plane-for-sale.html It's a ghost plane now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabC Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Does anyone know anything about the 747 that is seen on the Top Gear test track, it appears to have twin engines fitted to each pylon? I should have googled before asking: http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/planes/q0297.shtml Edited February 15, 2013 by RabC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantSmith Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 He got it! Anyone has got a collection of these....? Morning Dancealot, I'm not sure if you're aware but removing the safety card from the aircraft is actually against the law and shouldn't be encouraged. No wonder Air Asia is always running late, passengers keep lifting the safety cards (light hearted joke btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubbkis Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Christ there's even a webpage dedicated to this nonsense! www.allsafetycards.com Somehow, I knew there would be. I used to use air safety cards as shoe horns after my feet had swollen from economy class syndrome but now I carry a short teak shoehorn I got at Chatuchak.

Hahaha never thought of doing that... Though recently haven't had that issue (and still flying in the back of the bus), which is strange as it almost always used to be a uncomfortable awkward exercise trying to put my shoes on after a 7hr plus flight...

Thankyou lubbkis for your largesse ... you are truly a generous man and great to see that you are taking care of your general health when flying ... . Thank you for sharing your story. I do have flight socks but struggle to get them on. My anti-dvt strategies include; 1. my usual airline know that I want an ailse seat for long haul legs. If I'm in economy I walk round the cabin at least twice during the leg. If I'm on the A340 I do stretching exercises using the steps to the downstairs loos. Cabin crew do not like you using the door inflatable for leg stretching exercises I've been told. 2. I take a long hop in Europe then a sleeping hop which I try to keep down to 11 hours max, it's usually 9 eastwards. At the hub I get a long walk. 3. Because I'm going intercontinental about three times a year with my preferred airline, I'm buying economy but getting biz much of the time. I'm what used to be called retirement age since last week but the EU has outlawed retirement age so I guess I just have to go on and on and on or retire to Myrtle Avenue 555.
