I see it is so new that it hasn’t even made any friends… :crying_cat_face:

New airplanes can’t get it. Only like Metro IIIs and DC-9s need to worry…or so I’ve been told…

That’s because they are usually dirty and greasy. :wink:

We used to have some DC-3s that came on our ramp when I worked the line. If they weren’t dripping oil from somewhere, they weren’t fit to fly apparently…

I used to have a car like that :laughing:.
