Funny how that has a tendency to happen on tropical islands, isn't it?

Those tropical islands are magnets for broken planes...

whats the

Not exactly. We had a Left Hydraulic leak over the Indian Ocean and I got to land on a wet runway at Diego Garcia with no anti-skid.

What's the A/C? 767? did all 4 tires on that gear get flat spotted? nevermind that if one tire on a axle goes down the other must be removed from service, too.

That one was on a red X whether I shredded the tires or not. That tail is in the boneyard now, where it belongs.

Thats just great, make me feel little cause I only flew Cessnas. On a good note when I worked (long time ago) we would clammer out of our Aerospace R&O facility to watch the Concorde come in on its approach to Toronto Airport. Good Times.

Apologies then. As a maintainer, I've seen that nine times out of ten that's caused by a right seater taking the stick for the landing.

I was there when this happened. Didn’t know it got posted until a few years later.

The BOPs was right at 1.8mil buoyant weight. If it would have hit the well head there, that would have cost another 30-40mil.

Riser elevator parted, but luckily we had just connected the tensioner ring (reason it slowed down) if not, we’d have laid the whole mess on the ocean floor

(Ignore the title, the dp operator who posted it hadn’t a clue what happened)
