This should totally work.

If they put Tundra Tires on it, (or floats) they could even fly it into...

JUNO! :D

Just like our Eskimo Bro's! Of course our guys would have to follow them, because, well, you know how hard it is to land a tail dragger in Juno! :rolleyes:

You're a maddog vet.



I'm going to run with that.

OK, but I claim Dr. Maddaugh, D.V.M. The "h" is silent.

Germanwings Crash: Recordings Could Yield Cockpit Door Clues - NBC News

2013 hire with either 630 TT or 630 320 time?

I've been advocating for years a 'Calling in Cray Cray' policy.

Seriously, though, not looking forward to being looked at as the new potential terror threat.

Just when you think you've seen everything...

Media is doing a fantastic job of educating any and every would be assailant on how to attempt to get in the cockpit.

Keep your hand close to the deny switch.

I'm sure the overreaction will be to have a "mental exam" for all of us. Meanwhile, Timbo's 94 year old neighbor is renewing her driver license.

Funny, just as I was reading the two posts above, the talking heads on TV were also talking about getting 'Psychological Screening' for pilots, along with their annual flight physicals!

AND... there was another 4 car/truck traffic accident in my town yesterday, which shut down the main highway for hours, from 3-6pm. Word on the radio was another elderly driver cutting across 4 lanes of traffic caused it...:rolleyes:

They need to hire a Spelling Nazi! :D

We've got a few here looking for work...:rolleyes:

What are you talking about? Our spelling nazi's have plenty to keep them busy here. Sailing alone requires two full time guys. Sorry SF, you have gotten better.
