Hmmmm, just what kind of showers? :eek:

Regular water showers. The golden ones are extra.

Too Much Info....;)

That's what the brochure said. Don't shoot the messenger!!!

When I read about this it did not surprise me that much. USMCFLYR, I believe they actually had a couple of single engine landings about 8-12 months ago up in Montana. I think it was only 2 if I remember correctly, so I wasn't shocked. There always to seem to be something going on there. I noticed it was one of those old YV tails. I heard those things had all kinds of corrosion problems.

Thanks for sharing the information Stew. I'm surprised that this wouldn't have made national news when so much focus has been on safety within the airline - and specifically - the Regionals.

How lakes stays in business surprises me. In my 2 years there as a CA I pumped the gear down twice and had 2 engines go south on me. On one of the the DO as trying to get me to ferry the aircraft when the engine could not produce take off torque without over temp'ing the ITT. He explanation was "how much take off powers do you need?".

The pilots at lakes deserve free beers for life, if it wasn't for their skills there would be more accidents at Lakes. Doug Voss can rot in he!!

Ah, good old 208. Every time I flew that airplane I thought of you...in a straight way of course.
