re: #74 Slumbering Behemoth

WTF? What is “Skyhook”?

heh ,, don’t remind me.
I spent half a summer wandering around Logan Airport in Boston while I was working for Eastern airlines looking for one!

My job ,, cleaning planes (inside and out)

The “new guy” is told to go to another airlines hanger and “get our skyhook from them. We loaned it to them last week” (hey ,,, I’m new ,,, AIRplanes ,, SKYhook ,, made sense to me,,, figured it was some sort of tool)

Well,, everyone (but the new guy) is in on the gag. Go to the 1st airlines hanger, they tell me they gave it to Continental,, go to Continental,, they gave it to United ,, etc etc ,,,,,

Day after day ,,, hanger after hanger “Do you guys have our skyhook!?!?”
