I always preferred the blue shirt over the current white "office drone" version.

Pretty hard to forget "Scary Harry". He certainly did march to the beat of different drummer. That doesn't make him bad, of course. But, I thought he lived in SEA?

On one of his round the world trips with his Bonanza he landed in KIX. They met him and his wife with one of those big passenger bus. The handling fee alone was $3000.

I will never forget Harry writing, in grease pencil on the gauges, the "tanks dry" time for each trip in the 747. He demanded the cockpit be ice cold so he could jog in place in the upper deck. And from the pictures I see he is still wearing the train engineers hat he wore while flying. He was not the easiest captain to fly with when you were the operating engineer.

Did you ever soak his seat with water while he was jogging? How about hiding his grease pencil? Could you test the fuel gauges like the 727 and pull breakers so the gauges read low?? Scary Harry sounds like a fun one.
