RobBob Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I made the decision about 5 years ago: No more third world airlines. Never had worried about it much in past years, even though I had a harrowing experience aboard an Air India 20+ years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds,--and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless falls of air... Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark, nor eer eagle flew-- And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high, untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and WAS SUCKED OUT THE WINDOW. ... with apologies to John Gillespie Magee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I always liked that poem as a kid. Used to stay up light at night when the TV stations went off the air to listen to it and watch the jet wingover at the end of it. Then,... kshhhhhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobo Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I think you're right, CBS. Thunderbolt, yes? Many years later they updated it with an F-16 Fighting Falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
