Well, da Hellkat won another one of dose prizes in a contest. Dis time it was a Halloween trip to Mexico, so we flew down from Avoca on Delta down to Adlanta and den we tranferred to Quexocquatl Airlines to go down to Monterrey. We had a great couple a days der and sampled all da cuisine, especially at Carlos n' Charlies Av. San Jeronimo 1106 Col. Miravalle. The regional specialty is cabrito, which is baby goat, slow cooked over mesquite coals. Steak arrachera, which is a marinated flank steak, is another popular local favorite. We were taking da flight back to Adlanta from Monterrey. It was a twin engine jet, but I can't recall what type. As usual, we snagged a window seat just forward of the starboard side wing. About 20 minutes into the flight, the engine on the wing starts trailing flames. As you can imagine there were a lot of very scared people onboard. The pilot must have shut the engine down or something around that point because the flames died out suddenly, but the flight got very bumpy and it seemed the plane was vibrating. Somehow we limped into Mexico City where we were greeted on the runway with emergency foam and just about every emergency vehicle that the airport must have had access to. The pilot put us down on the ground rather gracefully, and after a quick inspection they towed us to a gate.
For some reason they didn't want anyone deplaning and they kept us in the airplane for about an hour while the mechanic worked on the engine. Now, when I say worked, I mean worked. The guy tinkered with the engine for about 40 minutes, den said something to two confused-looking fellows on the ground off to the side of the wing and then started beating on the thing with a pipe wrench. Nine or ten good whacks later the whole engine tore loose and plunged to the ground. At dis point, dey decided we might be slightly delayed ... and dey let us off the plane into a sealed waiting room (no food, telephones dat looked like dey were from Zappata's time).
Now we could only see the other side of the airplane -- the one away from da problem. Dey left us there for about three hours, telling us that a new plane was coming. Then they announced that they didn't have another plane and that this one was being repaired. As you might guess, somewhere along the line during the next seven hours when they were repairing the plane (duct tape and bailing wire is my guess), the pilots timed out and had to get some time off. So we waited another four hours for a fresh flight crew. We got home, 18 hours late, and I'll never again fly a local airline into that area of the world. Unless da Hellkat wins anudder contest.
