The Haunted Airbus Toilet
I recently flew Frankfurt-Istanbul on an Airbus A380-600.
I encountered a noise I have never heard before on a plane (or anywhere else). In the left-hand toilet by the second-back pair of exits. A VERY LOUD shrieking, gurgling noise like something large and alien out of an H.P. Lovecraft story being devoured by something even larger and more alien. Flushing the loo seemed to induce a very brief blip in the sound. What on earth might it have been? ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |

I recently flew Frankfurt-Istanbul on an Airbus A380-600.
No you didn't. : Date: SATURDAY 22 DEC 07 : Flight: LH3344 Lufthansa : Depart: FRANKFURT (FRA) at 2210 HRS whatever that was. (Is there a simple way to find what what plane filled a particular slot at some time in the past?) Big thing with two wings and four engines. Why can't they give plane models sensible names like "Floella-Mae", "Polycarp" or "Murchadhadh"? ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |

No you did NOT The A380 is not scheduled to go into service until the start of the next decade. The A380 is ALREADY IN SERVICE, you stupid knuckle-dragging idiot. GET OFF THESE NEWSGROUPS! YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO PARTICIPATE! |

(Is there a simple way to find what what plane filled a particular slot at some time in the past?) Big thing with two wings and four engines. Look up the airline website for current flight schedules. With Lufthansa it was obviously an A340-600 then. But not an A380-600, which doesn't exist. Why can't they give plane models sensible names like "Floella-Mae", "Polycarp" or "Murchadhadh"? Well that may be sensible to some people. But not others. You can clearly determine the manufacturer and history of aircraft type with the present system.

A300-600 according to LH. Which makes it a big thing with two wings and *two* engines. Somebody's counting skills are suspect. And according to Flightstats.com, it's an Airbus A300-600 as well (LH 3345 being the A300-600 flying the IST-FRA direction). -- dgs |
