Well eventually got here, flight was goin down runway for  :ytakeoff late Monday night then slowed down the engines and stopped , taxi off the runway, and sat on the plane for almost 4 hrs got decided could not fix it, got off the plane at 2.45am and into a hotel, checked in by 5 am coz of the amount of folk getting checked in, left again Tuesday at 4pm and arrived in udon Thani late yesterday afternoon, just about to have some Breslin, and leave for the house at 10.30, should be there for about 12 noon, you folks will still be in bed

suppose it's better that it breaks down on runway than 5 mins later at 10,000 feet...lol

Jeez that would be my worst nightmare! I assume it was the same plane you eventually flew out on? Hate flying as it is, would have cacked the breeks thinking there was a problem with it!

I think Billy Connolly was right.....if planes had glass bottoms, no bugger would fly

Enjoy Thailand! Check for adams apples!

Nah, I'd love that! I have no problem looking down from 35,000 ft but for some reason being 12ft up a ladder scares the bejesus out of me

Seen this? http://www.airlinesanddestinations.com/aircraft/airbus-showcases-2050-concept-airliner-cabin-for-paris-airshow/ - I think that'd be an awesome way to fly.

You need to try a weight shift microlight. Like riding pillion on a motorbike in the air.

I would imagine once you get used to the fact that there's one pin attaching you to the wing (the bit that stops you turning into a cagoule of tomato puree thousands of feet below) and that the other thing that's keeping you alive is an engine the size of a shoe box putting out as much power as a desmond and revving away like an angry wasp 6" behind your head, it could be quite fun. I decided once was enough.

Having been in a plane thats developed a fault in the air, and having to do an emergency landing, its quite a surreal experience.  Not one I'd like to repeat, though.


Enjoy Thailand, Dundee, are you going to be bidding for any bits of your car?

Best way. Nothing good comes from using engines. They play tricks on you. You go to fire one up to take you to work and it doesn't do anything. Then you see the crank sensor you were going to fit sitting on the passenger seat. Then it starts ssipping down.
