Strange, who forgets about his own 727? Apparently a bankrupt airline who couldn't pay the required maintenance/parking fees anymore simply 'dumped' it...

This is probably the one:

if it remains unclaimed, the plane will have to be sent for scrap

Can it do 0-G parabolas? If so, let's step forward as community and claim it, before it's too late :lol:

 

[Ghostrider]

Or the fuel. It happens.
What do we do, can we 'chute down to Nam and liberate it? I'll bring the bow and arrows.

 

[Urwumpe]

I bring one fuel canister. Now we need another 10000

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Let's see, it can fly about 4500 km, when it it contains 37000 L kerozine.
We have about 1000 members on this forum. If we all bring a medium jerry can of kerozine, we could make a nice escape :lol:

There are only 189 seats so some of us will have to be standing during our escape flight, and some (err a lot) of us will have to be left behind...

Shotgun!

 

[Bj]

[Ghostrider]

Shotgun!

9mm.

Can I fly the escape plane?

I got dibbs on the vertical stabilizer! (seriously, who wouldn't want to fly open-air?) Just keep the altitude below about 11k ft please!

 

[Ghostrider]

I can haz cheezbrgrz.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Shotgun!

I got dibbs

I actually had to look up both of these words in the Urban dictionary, before fully understanding their meaning in this context :lol:, but now I understand... (sorry for being a foreigner! :lol

A ten liter canister could be parachuted down and carried, but it would be encumbering. maybe we should better carry ammo to claim a fuel truck.

 

[Donamy]

That would be interesting if a space sim community could by a jet. I'll send 25 bucks.

 

[Urwumpe]

Buying a jet is simple... operating it is expensive.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Ah true.. But maybe even more efficient (and non-criminal) would be to simply bring the credit cards we used to buy the jerry cans of fuel anyway. But with these high fuel prises your option might be more cost effective indeed...

 

[Coolhand]

No one claimed the drinks trolley yet? No? good... I'm taking the vodka and the miniature parasols. Ok, ok, i will share it with the pilot if i'm sitting next to him.

 

[Ghostrider]

maybe we should better carry ammo to claim a fuel truck.

That would be 7.62x39mm ammo, the Vietnam Armed Forces still use the AK-47 variants by far and large. Only some naval infantry forces have switched to the new AK-74 in 5.45x39mm.

 

[Urwumpe]

OK... as long as I can take a G3 and some cartridges with 7,62 x 51, I have no problems also carrying a few boxes of the short 7.62 ammo.

I need precise firepower.

BTW: This plane is in 'Nam, right? Can we paradrop a Ontos?
