Can anyone pick what's not right about this Trip Report

Also not a QF aircraft as fuel load in pounds not kilos. 174.3 kilos of fuel would get you to LAX from SYD, but not 174.3 pounds.
Certainly not OEH as not Aux fuel tank fitted either.
The crew would not stand in the rear galley and work out things on a laptop.

Check out Capt. Palikaras avatar on Jetspotter. I think he might be the Janitor.

Just had a look at the charts for LAX from here ( select Facility map Top LHS)

Not knowing if this is all true one way or another (will leave that to you guys).

If he landed on 7L (doesnt say) and exited at Juliet as he stated, why would he need 9500' of a 12091' runway to pull up a near empty 744 (even allowing 1000' to touch down in a landing zone)(fuelwise)

That said, if his landing was day time, how could he not be asked to leave via a rapid, say Bravo 5, or even Golf at one of the world's businest airports?.

Again, happy to be proven wrong b/c I dont know.

thanks for sharing this Martin!! And I loved the response you posted on behalf of the real QF pilot......Its going to be a real chuckle to see the replies.

I like his display pic on Jetspotter...he says he used to fly 737's for Virgin, and is in the cockpit of a 737NG, but wearing a pilots cap? Who wears caps at Virgin?

[Mick F]

Even funnier is that even if he was a Captain on 737's at DJ say 9 years ago, the absolute best he could possibly be on a QF 747 after that long, is an F/O.

Flight would have been a NW flight from Japan to the US as the waypoint shown (35E50) and heading (099) on the HSI puts the aircraft about 1000km E of NRT heading E.

Oh yeah, and the EXIF data on the check in photo is dated 5Oct2009 and 1000Hrs. What a shame it didn't show the photographer's name.......

Bingo!

I thought I read this trip report before on airliners.net
It features a captain flying a DL B744 KIX-HNL

(If you scroll down the page, you can see the same pictures as featured in that guys Trip Report).

It's an scam all over!

He posted on jetspotter about a flight he was crewing on Virgin Blue at the end of last year, yet I have no record of anyone even close to that name operating that flight...

Funny what a bit of searching can obtain

[Stephen Brown]

Has this Nunchuck ever used the internet before?? Has he heard of Google?

This story is almost as funny as the time I beat Chef Ramsey in a Chocolate Crackle cook off and earned five Michelan Stars for it!!!!

Or the time I beat Tiger Woods at Golf and bedded five more chicks than him in the one night!!

I could go on, and I will.......
