Hawker vs. Glider Midair - random thoughts
"flying_monkey" wrote in message ps.com... Bill, I agree. Just because the airline pilots are supposed to be law-abiding professionals doesn't mean that they don't occasionally try to do something that they think is fun. I was aboard an American Eagle flight many years ago, riding in a Twin Otter with 18 0ther passengers, when the pilots decided to fly through the Red Rock Canyon and Mojave, CA areas below the height of the peaks on either side. This was enroute from Inyokern to Lancaster. I also knew that they had taken off over gross on that flight, from things that I heard them say before takeoff. I reported them to the FAA, but to my knowledge, nothing ever happened. Ed I'm curious, did they show you the W&B sheet for the flight? How did you know they over gross?

How did you know they over gross? Read! You are saying you heard the pilots say they were over gross? Or did they just say they were heavy? If I heard two pilots say they were over gross I think I'd get my ass off the plane.
