cat forces aircraft down

hi folks,
quite an adventure to get home…

after johannes gave me a lift to the airport in brussels i was really looking forward to board after spending hours waiting. i felt truly relieved after take-off.
just this annoying cat-owner behaving like ms. princess herself was a pain in the … suddenly she was running the aisle up and down, amusing everybody. yes! she was chaising her stupid cat (what a clever idea to take her out of the box – god damn stupid you!)
the cat was not as stupid as her owner and decided to hide in the cockpit somewhere inbetween the cables, where nobody could find her…

just a few seconds later the capatin had to announce “dear passengers, due to a cat hiding in our electronics we wont make it to vienna. we are forced to turn over and get back to brussels!”
oooooHHHH my gosh! *grrrrr* :-@

we got back to brussels (in half of the time we needed before), dumped some 100l of kerosene somewhere in germany and had a smooth landing escorted by some 12 fire trucks, ambulance, police etc. on a remote spot at the airport.

finally we got another aircraft and took off again about another hour later – total delay of about 3h…

here some pics (those i had not to delete because some strange man in black wanted me to erase all pictures he had been on…. very strange world)…

miss you all, cu soon!
