Amazing flying in the old days

[KL-666]

Those were the days, when aircraft were built strong and pilots could fly. Who says you need engine number 4 and the rest of the wing after that? Btw. there is something funny at the end, so watch it all.

I flew to the Carribean and, because it was cheaper, via Shiphol and then KLM ... first plane, take-off aborted due to a warning ... second plane, didn't make it to the gate because a luggage cart rammed the nose gear ... third one brought me over to my destination. Which makes me think, when fate decides to go nasty, it does it in threes.

If that happened to me, and the replacement aircraft for that had collapsed gear while boarding, I'm going to retreat into the nearest bunker and never come out.
