And I remember the good old days of the 1960's on my first trip away from ''home '' was on the Oriental Queen, a old war 2 boat owned and run by the Japs. Flying was only for rich tourists then.

when mh370 happened I got all into plane crashes. some fantastic websites dedicated to investigations. Also found one with black box recordings. The last words some of the pilots said have been so epic and I totally admire some of them. The most common I have seen is...FUCK! Lmao

I got so into reading them that my khmer gf put down her smart phone watching shitty khmer horror movie and got into some of the stories.

The saddest have been TWA 800 and Pacific Southwest Airlines, Flight 182.

LOT Polish Airlines was said by the entire crew...awesome.


As for the situation with MH17...how come no word or mention of what air traffic control had to say? just blame russia. Complete bullshit. Just like how Assad used chemical weapons on his people. I dont believe a single word the new liberal world order has to say.

Years ago someone put out a book with all the last words said before crashing. My favorite was from a pilot crashing straight down into a field. "Look at all the damn cabbages!!

Flying has been a pain in the balls since 9/11. I don't think it's gotten more dangerous, just less fun. I've always been a 'miles whore' and have been lucky enough to sit up front dozens of times. I still don't look forward to it, even in 1st.

"I dont believe a single word the new liberal world order has to say."

C'mon, Mr. AJ... so the Bushes (both of them) are your heroes? Reagan?

Of course, that "Nigger Arab" in the White House plotted, executed and funded 911, right?

The entire media system is controlled by radical left-wing Faggot Jews bent on controlling the banking sector and destroying the "family values" of ordinary Americans, eh?

Chemical weapons are a myth, right? The photos were are an elaborate drama done by paid actors (employed by Obama of course).

Global warming is a pack of lies perpetuated by Nazi Greenpeace to drain precious resources from the domestic arms industry?

The ownership of personal automatic tactical weapons in the USA is the most sacred right of all?

The Malaysian flight is not missing actually, Obama has it hidden inside an underground bunker...and on and an and on...yep, the liberal agenda is destroying the very fabric of modern life...

Ah, the good old days; when the back of the plane was a smoking area, and when you asked for a second glass of champagne they gave you the bottle to finish...we had some great parties on the longhaul flights.
A friend who was boarding with a 3 ft long samourai sword just gave it to the cabin crew to keep upfront and they gave it back after landing. When you think that even a tube of toothpaste can get confiscated these days...

Flying longhaul, even in economy, used to be kind of fun - just boring now. :beer1:

I travel with hypodermics - and have never once had them checked. What a colossal weakness in the security system.
