国産車は夢があって良いですね!
Japanese domestic cars are great!
昼休みにFly Wheel 誌の及川君のブログを見ていたら
「飛行機が雨漏りで飛ばなかった」ってありました。
During lunch I was reading Fly Wheel magazine's blog by Mr. Oikawa and read about the airplane he was flying being canceled because rain was leaking into the cabin.
10年以上前の事ですが、僕の時は大雨の中、成田空港をLAに向けて滑走し飛行機が上昇し始めた途端、頭上の荷物入れ付近から隣の席へ、ドバーっとバケツをひっくり返したみたいに大量の水が落ちてきました。
It reminded me of a time about 10 years ago when a plane I was on got caught
in a rain storm on the way to LAX from Narita Airport. The plane climbed up
above the rain and all of a sudden from the overhead compartment above the
seat next to me, SPLASH! Like a bucket of water came pouring down.
本当にビックリ!でした。
That was really scary!
それでもそのままLAに飛んで行きましたが。(途中下車できない!)
「いったどこからあの水が室内に入って来たのか?」
LAまでの約9時間、機中でズーっと考えていました。やはり雨漏り以外考えられませんでした。
でも乗務員は慣れっこなのか「すみませーん今拭きますねー」って冷静だったのを覚えています。
ちなみに飛行機会社も及川君を同じでした。
However, it wasn't like we could stop anywhere as we were in-flight so the
plane continued to LA. "Where exactly did all that water come from?"
It takes about 9 hours to LA and after that incident I couldn't think of
anything else but the water leak. Maybe because of practice, I don't know,
but I remember the flight crew being very calm and helpful. Interestingly
enough, that flight was the same airlines as the one Mr. Oikawa was one.
