AggieDave 6 #2 April 22, 2010 These were some of the early tests leading up to the modern green light lemming. "hey, lets spot this load..."

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #3 April 22, 2010 I was thinking more along the lines of Monty Python and the "Flying Sheep" bit. "They don't so much fly as plummet."

Harmless 0 #4 April 22, 2010 So why aren't you spotting while the light is red? Check for aircraft and general location, first and last out will never have the ideal spot. Just the nature of large turbines."Damn you Gravity, you win again" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just the nature of large turbines. What is this spotting you speak of? Seriously, I was making fun of the turbine babies that don't know how to spot for anything from a 182 load to a turbine.
