Little joke from Ralph????????

[wijnand]

"Hi guys, Just tried to take-off with the 747-200 KMIA-KORD. After all the preparartions, taxiing out and suddenly, all hydraulics went out. Four lights in the annunciator-panel tolde "Hi, hi, long walk ahead". All hydraulics were set uop properly, I even tried to set them to manual, all 4 "run" lights went blue, fluids quantity OK, but no no: no ailerons, flaps, rudder ... I suspect this to be one of Ralph's little tricks he built in this plane? Unfortunately, this plane also carried a stock of cuban cigars, bound for Winnipeg, but unfortunately......... So, now i will go and find a spare plane!! Take care, Wijnand"
