How often do you take the seats out of
your aircraft and check the inside of the tailcone?

Well, I never owned an airplane to take the seats out of. But in the years
I flew 747s I looked up into a lot of wheel wells.

Preflighting wheelwells is a job the second officer accomplishes. The
second officer is a non-flying crewmember. I think John wants people
to believe that he flew these 747's, but I submit this year he should
resolve to be honest and admit that he never held a flying seat on the
747. I'm pointing this out because John's previous posts made it
clear he is not very familliar with taxi procedures of 747 100's or
200's. In his prior posts he claimed to shut-down two inboard engines
at taxi out at 800,000 pounds, which is improper and is a very dubious
claim since this could likely stall him in any ninety degree turn at
that weight. Not even climb thrust on the outboards will get you out
of this once the 747 gets stuck in the turn. You have just screwed up
departure for all the flights behind you, as now you must go through a
five minute start checklist and spoolup for the remaining engines.
Not to mention the extreme infield errosion that this stunt would
cause. Now I know your proud of being on the airplane John, just as I
was. Am I wrong? Were you a F/O or Capt?
