flyhi 24 #3 June 7, 2003 Was flying in and out of Trinidad once when an Aeroflot jet cut the corner between the taxiway and the runway short. Went off into the soft stuff and couldn't get out. Shut down the airport for most of the morning. Those Russian pilots are nothing but fun lovin'.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

TheAnvil 0 #11 June 9, 2003 Dudes, I hate to stereotype, but dammit do those Russki's drink all of the time as a general rule of thumb. I mean ALL the time - and I'm a skydiver saying that! NEVER try and drink vodka with a Russian. Even if you are 250 lbs and you're drinking with a Russki babushka. The pilots taking off were probably hammered.
