Re: Amazing plane

I did the same in a 727 as a pup -- my dad was the check captain.

There were only a dozen or so passengers so my dad went into the cabin and explained the pilot was going for his captain's bars and asked if it was OK if they chucked the plane around a bit.

"Hell yeah" essentially.

Great memories of, eg, belting along just above the water just off the beach, up the Queensland coast. Must have been a surreal sight for the surfers etc.
