    He's very good. He did that series a few years back - "flying heavy metal" where he went around flying different commercial jets including a 727.

    I think it was on Discovery at the time.

    i had a JT8 engine break its mounting on rotation ex FRA many moons ago.....thought we were gonners. Lads down the back lurched at it to re tie it down and move it back in place....it moved about two feet in the process (737)....the pitch up was frightening.
