    Great aircraft, love the story of the test pilot who performed two barrel rolls showing off in front of the airline executives without the boss of Boeing knowing. Did the second one in case they missed the first.

    I think it was a 707 that the RAAF used for our trip to mainland USA via Hawaii in 1988
    We landed at night in a very strong cross wind
    The pilot managed to hit the runway with the engine and our overnight stay was extended by a couple of days whilst the engineers had to wait for replacement parts to arrive and be fitted before we could take off for the next leg
    I certainly preferred flying with Navy pilots after that experience

    Navy shouldn't even have any aircraft.

    Just helicopters, which everyone knows are strictly for poofs.

    TBH I don't think that's a secret.

    I hope on principle you refused to ever wash a helicopter.
