OBB 87 Mac af Uhr

Sitter en sen lørdags kveld og leser nok en artikkel fra Airways sin Mac af Uhr. Det er få som skriver så godt som denne piloten...et Airways uten Mac er et Airways i søpla!

Takk!

Fra 'The team':
http://www.airwaysmag.com/channels.h..._id=8&single=1


Malcolm ‘Mac’ af Uhr “I was born in Stockholm, Sweden, early in the Sixties to a SAS captain and his flight attendant wife. Later that decade we moved to Bangkok, Thailand, while my father flew for Thai Airways International before returning to Sweden five years later.

“After graduating from college (or gymnasium as it is called in Sweden), I was drafted for a stint in both the Royal Swedish Air Force and the Swedish Army. I moved to the United States early in the Eighties for the explicit purpose of learning how to fly with no intention of staying.

“My aviation career started as a flight instructor, which included the highlight of teaching aerobatics and taildragger operations in Great Lakes biplanes. The next step was a stint as a freight dog, flying canceled bank checks at night while building flight time in twin recips and turboprops. A lucky break then put me in the captain’s seat with a small commuter, which in turn later opened the doors to the large national carriers. I am currently flying for my sixth US-based jet carrier and so far have accumulated well over 15,000 hours, mostly on B737, DC-9, B727, and MD-80 aircraft.

“I reside in Anchorage, Alaska, with my Australian born ex-flight attendant wife and our two young boys.”

Det er mange flere som kan trekkes frem i Airways, men min yndlingsplass er langt bak i bladet: Debrief av Stan Solomon

Her er en riktig god fra februar-utgaven:
Quote:
Your Ad Not Here!
Amongst the usual indignities, New York City subway riders once endured advertisements including those from medical specialists ranging from dermatologists to proctologists. Which may be why US Airways finally displayed some class and rejected the idea of ads on its overhead bins. A spokesperson said, "We don't want (the airplane) to look like a subway." Explaning why his airline also rejected such ads, a JetBlue spoakesman said, "We don't want to disrupt the experience." Exactly what experience might that be?
Kanskje ett passende illustrasjonsbilde? Legg også merke til dato og budskap

Tilbake til topic: Hva gjør Mac i Air Fiji? Har de 'låneavtale' med Alaska?

Macs profil er litt utdatert. Ikke jobber han i USA og ikke bor han der lenger.

Han er bra, ja !
Kanskje det beste som har vaert av faste spalter i Airways, var Rick Drury`s.
Han skreve malerisk, paa en helt spesiell maate.
Hadde gleden av aa faa fly med han for noen aar siden, i en aapen dobbeltdekker rundt Friday Harbour nord for Seattle, fantastisk fyr.

Nyhetene i Airways er da ikke av den tidskritiske sorten, så jeg ser ikke det som noe spesielt problem...

Det mest tidskritiske er kanskje - har selskapet som omtales gått konkurs i mellomtiden. Februarutgaven omtaler Sky Europe, og der er ikke alle aspekter kommet med - men konkurs er de ikke enda.

I og for seg ening - men når du sparer på alle utgaver for senre å gå tilbake for å sjekke et eller annet - må man huske at det som skjedde av nyheter i april 1999 ikke kom i Airways før juni-juli 1999. Ingen stor sak - og når det gjelder helten Mac af Uhr så er han helt og holdent uten utløpsdato...

Holder på å finleser februar-utgaven nå, og den månedens Both Sides med Clayton Taylor er rett og slett fornøyelig - og hvem kjenner seg ikke igjen i hans beskrivelse av sine mange personligheter.

Bare husk, ikke tenkt på å be en av hans døtre ut på date

Det er sjelden. John er veldig bestemt på at han ikke publiserer (og betaler for) bilder fotografen har lagt ut gratis på nett.

EB: Et månedsblad er ikke et nyhetsblad. Dette har vi diskutert før.
