@George-K said in Feed the (black) bird:
a KC-135
An FAA guy I worked with, Chris, was a pilot of a KC-135, which is a converted Boeing 707.
He had a friend who was also a 707 pilot that flew with John Travolta on his 707.
Chris was invited to fly the 707 with Travolta. Did I already tell you about how Travolta offered Chris a $5K watch in exchange for forbidden favors? Chris declined the offer.
He stopped flying with Travolta when Travolta came within seconds of destroying the plane while singing a song about a dead pilot. The way Chris tells it, he actually prevented the crash, from the jump seat behind the pilot, by pushing the throttle with his right foot.
