Humour: How Not to Load an F27 Friendship

In the early Seventies, the F27 played a big part in Air transport in the Northern Territory, both for cargo and passengers. One of the little idiosyncrasies of this aircraft was that it required a tailstick to stop it “sitting down” on it’s tail.
In those years I was Loco (Load Controller) for TAA in the Alice, and one of the commodities we carried through that port was a certain heavy metal that came out of Tennant Creek, and was known by a code name. This metal was extremely heavy, and took little room.

Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one.
Reassurance for those of us who fly routinely in our jobs!!
After every flight, Qantas Australia pilots fill out a form, called a "gripesheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. |
