A couple of local good old boys could take the whole place in less than a day

Slightly on topic - but this made me laugh when I read about a man getting arrested near Lisbon for kicking a football at a plane that made it go slightly off course

LS910 from Fuerteventura to Manchester https://fr24.com/EXS29P/2dae5a62
Currently circling for the past hour and a half over the Canary Islands.
Getting a bit more frequent these 34 year old 757s diverting or not making their destination.
It might be a medical emergency but these old birds seem to be having a lot of hydraulic problems at present.

I’d be well pissed off if I was on that!
2 hours in the air to land at the next island and no doubt a good few hours waiting now also.

Surely the passengers will be put up somewhere for the night.
I'm flying with jet2 next year, hopefully these old 757s will be flirted off by then.

I think I'd rather pick sand out of my jap's eye than spot planes whilst sunbathing on a beach: /

That is the weirdest comment I have ever read on here and I've read a good too many.
Can you actually get sand in your japs eye? I've heard of parasites that can get inside if you piss in the sea so Im scared to do it..
Off to google to see if your correct.
