Dancing Marshaller
« on: February 21, 2012, 06:12:58 pm »
Thought I might pop in a quick note about this as I have never seen this before!  Today, I flew from Maderia to Tenerife - North.  Taxied in with Follow me Car, and arrived at Gate 12.  My Marshaller was waiting for me, and directed me onto the Gate in the normal manner.  When he asked me to stop and cut engines (which I duely did) he went into what I can only describe as a Highland Fling, and started Disco dancing for about 30 seconds before walking away in the normal manner!

I have been using GSX for a couple of weeks now, flying most days, and too date have always received a message saying something like 'you went too far' or 'you were slightly off center' etc etc.  I have been flying my home built 737-800 for seven years now, and was beginning to wonder if I would ever get a message of 'well done, parked well'

Perhaps this is rather like 'spot the ball competitions', you have to get it exactly on the nail, and bingo, one dancing Marshaller.  Just wondered if anyone else has seen this yet, and if not, do I get a prize?

Thats outstanding !!  Great video.  I really need to work on my parking.  Didn't know that easter egg was in there.  Kinda makes you wonder what other surprises have yet to be revealed.  I was looking through the sounds folder and wondered what the dance music was for.   lol      Marshaller has some dance skills there.  I don't dance anymore.  To brutal to watch.  It just looks like I am jogging in place.  ;D

Just noticed this too.  Landed by BA TriStar at EGPK, parked on north apron with BA as handling agent.  Engine shurdown and then i saw the marshaller do his dance with the illuminted wands - pure magic!
