Maverick Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 sad, sad, sad, one of the many I played with after it returned from AWA. http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=319976&WxsIERv=Qm9laW5nIDczNy0yNzU%3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Cronin Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Hey Maverick, I'm thinkin' we're gonna be seein' a lot of that kind of sadness as years go by... So far, I've heard of schools getting them, this underwater corrosion deal, and a bunch going to a cutter in the desert... Wouldn't it be nice to see one or two of them left for us to play with? I mean, if they're toast anyway, what would be the harm in leaving one or two of these old girls around for education sake, or even just for nostalgia? Hell, I'd put a DC10 on my front lawn! Calgary owes a lot to the 37's.... shouldn't they have one of those things on a peg, or even on it's wheels, in a downtown display someplace? I don't think I can stand the notion of all of these old dears being forever out of my grasp. Note to Mel Lastman (or his replacement): I'll promise to look after the thing, if you'll get a hold of a DC10 and plant it some place near me.

Maverick Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Rumour has it that BCIT is going to get a completely serviceable one. I'm not sure where it's coming from? As for the DC10 outside skydome, I like it a lot! It would give me a reason go to a Jays game! But my eyes would invariably be drawn to the number 2 (involuntary shudder), the horror, the horror.

Rookie Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Is that the one with the scar from a torch just behind the cockpit on the captain's side? Heard an interesting explanation of how that got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fax Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Not sure Rookie, next time I'm at the Beav to quaff a few I'll take a look. Wanna give us the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AME Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 It was more a miss communication than a story :S An employee thought he had permission to take the flight deck home, so he arrived withh cutting tools and began to remove the forward section of the aircraft It was soon determined that this was not the case and the damage was somewhat repaired so the aircraft could be sunk as a reef. Brett ps: as a post script it was rumoured that this same person obtained his flight deck from another ex CDN 737 that was cut up in Mojave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Makes a little more sense than the story I heard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
