Post subject: What JG300 doesn't tell you about their inflight behavior

from a recent article in Air & Space about New Guinea bush flying

Adult pigs, even when secured under a cargo net, are capable of shaking the airplane in flight. What degree of pig-induced vibration is the airplane rated for?

...Moody neglected to teach me how to fly while: Laughing, crying, gagging, panicking, passengers are screaming, pigs are screaming, passengers are screaming because the screaming pigs got loose.

It's not the vibration, it's the effect on the roll rate that counts. Of course, enough vibration will make your reflex sight go all fuzzy. JG300 make poor POW's.

Sounds like Moody has attended a JG300 Squad Meeting.

I'd be scared with pigs by the side of an airport, let alone on board my frickin' flight!

You're pretty safe in the parking lot or at the gate.....it's in the concourse bars and the planes' galley that you need to watch your a$$. Twisted Evil
