Brings to mind faint memories of Alaska Airlines, was it?
SNERK, If an SR71 didn't leak fuel on the ground then it was out of fuel.
Yup.. and required refueling immediately after take off...!
I think i9n life, loet alone this, if you see a problem and say nothing, aren't you also a part of the problem? Pilots know better than I..BHut, If I have a bad tire on the van, a fuel loeak, I am getting itfixed before I take a trip. Again, just a thought.
Airplane mechanics in the US really are superb pros. Go get'm Dennis P.
The picture is a SW Jet and has nothing to do with this story. Once again the stupid media distorts the truth. I'm getting sick of this crap. I think the mechanic stood up to the bean counters.
