do you also know that a 747 could be flown with just 1 engine? When I was at the Boeing plant ealier this year, during the tour, the guide told us that every 747 has to go through a series of airworthyness tests. One of these tests is flying the plane on only one engine for a period of time. Amazing!

You can unlock and open the lav doors from the outside on most aircraft by using a little trick.

I learned about this by watching a FA do this at one point, but now I'm struggling to remember why she needed to do so. [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
