What the pilot did was commendable, not putting profit above safety, and taking a stand. He should be commended by the Turkish gov't, and others for putting a spotlight on Goldtrail's unkempt fleet!

Way to go, "unknown" pilot!; 25/9/06 12:35

he reminds me of a pilot i was going to go flying with at VS-37 AT NAS NORIS CORONADO SAN DIEGO IN 1979.
I TOLD HIM,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS BLEEDING AIRCRAFT,REFERING TO ALL THE HYDRAULIC FLUID IN THE wheelwells of the S-3A VIKING.
and he said you're right, i'm giving this back bird to maintenance control.
