Post by: markfire on September 11, 2013, 11:51:26 AM
 Here's a fantastic video, it's a must view for 737 fans. If you've seen it before i apologise. Its subtitled for us english speakers, but you'll get the gist!

It's one of the episodes of a Belgian Television show called 'Tomtesterom'.
The guy up for this is Tom Waes, who takes on different challenges and tries to complete them successfully while only having limited amount of time to prepare himself.
This come from a colleague of mine and is a superb viewing.
Enjoy :)

An entertaining 50mins.  What they must have paid for the flight time on the Boeing?  A considerable sum I'd say unless the advertising for the airline was sufficient.

Probably almost as much as the insurance company would have charged to cover it!   ;D ;D

Lucky dog! I would sell my first wife and probably the current one as well to experience something like that.

I doubt the FAA or DOT in Canada would ever approve this in this country. They always seem more lenient in Europe it seems (at least in some countries)

And Maurice you can count Australia's CASA in on the list of overzealous regulators banning the once longed for practice of allowing "civilians" onto the flightdeck.  Was once a great public relations excercise, now its padlocks and guns!
