Nik H. 3 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 Hehehe ... thanks for invite, Nik, but I'll give it a pass this time. In the good old days, over the huge red desert of central Australia, I once found myself in the flight deck of a cruising 747-200, and we touched the yoke to demo the autopilot. A bit only lah. Btw my concern is more on innocent ppl and properties on the ground. I am sure those in the air are also equally concerned about their own lives, and with this spirit self preservation, i am sure those on the ground need not be unduly worried. Walter, let's confirm our meeting at 10am, with my Subang office being the venue. Capt Norhisham will be joining us as well. You'll need to take a security pass at the MAS Complex entrance. If you have any problem getting there, call me. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walter Sim 1 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Don't think so... Who works on saturdays anyways . Theres always an alternative just opposite a pay per entry carpark. RM1.50 i think. You can go there for a safer option but i think it would not be a problem... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
