Bin Laden has a vast fortune tied up in Construction and more importantly an
advanced telecommunications firm.

Getting to the point where a bloke with 300 hours saunters up and asks for
flight certs on B757/767 and hands over a mountain of cash (US$150,000)
should raise a few eyebrows with our good friends in the FAA/MoT/DoT or
whatever it is where you may be...

I have to agree with you Rog. The majority of Multi Engine rating time is
done on one engine (oddly enough I happen to have a rating...). All these
blokes would really need to know once in the air is where the gear switch,
throttles and flaps are. Flying the monster is akin to flying an arcade
game. Bloody hell, they could might well have been trained on
MSFlight2000Pro. Those of you with the right attachments look it up.... Get
a fast computer and the program, load up a 757/767 patch and set it up from
say... Boston and go for a flight.

As for the rest, sorry mate... I'm in Other Rob's boat.

P.S. Whitehorse was nothing... lost pilot with a warning light and a failed
comm system.... apparently.
