Repossessing a 757

An interesting read here from a retired pilot who does some contract work for leasing companies. In this report, he goes to collect a 757 with some unusual quirks thanks to being parked up for so long... http://altimtr.com/blog/flight-deck-dispatch-757-repo/

Aw c'mon !

Food Trays not collected ?

Well what chance that the honey wagon did its thing ?
