Loading ...Pilots flying heavy iron are sometimes known for their lighthearted jibes at pilots of smaller aircraft.
One day at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, an A-340 was in line
for departure behind a Fokker F-28, an aircraft that has a tail that
splits to act as a large speedbrake. The Airbus captain was heard on
the radio, making some comment about the “cute little plane” in front of
him and boasting about the brand new jumbo he was flying.
In response, the Fokker’s fuselage speed brakes opened wide, and over
the radio a very loud, “Pbbbbbbbt!” was heard.
“I do believe we’ve been mooned!” said the A-340 first officer to his
Captain.
