Hilarious, robo!!

I spent a lot of time in the Great White Whale (old EPA and later CPA colours) all over Atlantic Canada and I didn't mind them one bit. The Series 400 engines were a tad unsettling as they had a few failures, but, what a beast. I was in Wabush, Labrador when one of those engines failed on takeoff, but, a quick loop and we were back on the ground safely. The pilot made a joke about going back to get his coffee, but I wasn't laughing.

I can't recall, but, seems to me the 737 that pranged in the Potomac River was a Series 400 failure????

I used to fly a few times a week... don't miss it at all. It's much more exciting driving around town.
