We cracked the outer panes of several screens, took every single antenna and lamp off the airplane, holed the radome in many places and trached on fan blade. The noise of it was unholy. It sounded like a freight train. Crew comms were impossible. It lasted about a minute, maybe a bit more. Not nice but we survived it anyway. Ancient old radar wasn't worth the space it took up. bertie Well....what would flying be like without a little "fun" once in a while huh?? :-)))))) -- Dudley Henriques |
