Water Please?

This week was a busy one in the sky, which made for slow caching. I only managed one find while flying - in Milwaukee, a virtual on the way to the hotel - which was very frustrating.

We had two damaged airplanes this week, which was somewhat exciting. Our first was in Houston, where we pulled in and asked for the potable water system to be filled ( this is the water that you wash your hands with in the lavatory sink.) The ramp tech didn't open the relief valve sufficiently, so when he turned on the water and walked away, the tank overfilled and flooded the lavatory/cabin with 30 gallons of water.

3 hours later, we ferried to Dallas where the airplane was taken to heavy maintenance.

The second event was in Little Rock, where a service vehicle struck the tail before we even got to the airport from the overnight hotel. Lots of paperwork later we ferried this one to Abilene for an inspection and maintenance.

I was able to fire up my GPS on one of the ferry flights and recorded the stats below... WOOWOO!

Hopefully next week will be a little smoother.
