What's the big deal?.......going from NY to South Africa in 1976 the plane started to leak fuel from the wing.....I asked one of the flight attendant to bring the planes engineer ......... I pointed out to him the leak from the wing and his face went white, he then thank me and ten minutes later the leak stopped......one of the ladies then came to me and asked me if I wanted a seat in first class, stupid girl, a couple of years later I saw something about this in Times magazine, no names...........
