Went so far as to use their name as the example name in the pamphlet which led many pilots to make PAs using his name.
Ha! I actually had him for an indoc instructor and he made us practice PA's using his guide for hours! We couldn't say folks because he said that was a term that referred to southern people going to a rodeo. We kept saying folks and it ****ed him off so bad he almost kicked us out of PA practice class. He loved telling us all about his BMW and he wore those stupid colored dress shirts that had a white collar and white cuffs with gold cuff links. Wasn't his nickname on the line Captain Clip Board? Coex in the good old days.
