San Antonio

It's been a long life!

 

Agreed.

 

The other day as I was coming back in from a tour there was a Cessna on downwind and another that very suddenly turned base real sharp right in front of me. He was apparently having engine trouble and was concerned he was going to lose it so I ducked in behind him. He landed fine but the other Cessna had their engine quit as they turned base and they ended up gliding in without it.

Airplanes are scary.

 

I spent enough time in airports back than, I swear I could smell a jet behind in maintenance!

 

True, just don't go as far as fast. If it were not for airports, I would like air travel. Meanwhile, I will stick to cars and trucks whenever possible!

 

I hear ya.
The bigger airports are awful. Municipal airports are the absolute best. It might take a little longer but if you have to fly, look at chartering a smaller commuter like a KingAir or a Pilatus.

 

Those kind of choices get too rich for my budget. But, next time I am looking, I might just check it out. Flying to Kalamazoo is a pain normally!

 

Chinook, Blackhawk, C-130, C-7 many Boing and McDonnell aircraft, trains and busses...

I drive.

 

You can trust me!

 

Sprinklys all moved and hose connected to greenhouse.
I trust you guys to the end of the earth!


I'll figure out tomorrow, tomorrow.

 

Nighto!

 

I like helicopters. I prefer driving lol.

The coolest thing was flying in a Blackhawk, doors open, round chambered at 100' approx AGL over Iraqi cities. I yelled out, channeling "Die Hard","Just like f***ing Saigon, eh, Skip?"

 

Wait if we sign a wavier and everybody dies who do we sue

 

No one

Hence waiver.

 

When you were in service was there that one guy that drove everybody everywhere and he was like trust me we haven't died yet

 

Yeah, a bunch.

The worst was this really nice supply girl who nearly wrecked the 5-ton LMTV every week she drove it. There was also the Korean supply guy who actually got the LMTV on it's side lol. Then there was a buddy who was adamant that the only way to turn the Bradley was to slide it and had to get "winched out" by an M88A1 crane because he nearly flipped it. Then there was a few other incidents with dudes rolling trucks over, but i won't talk about those because of injuries and, in a couple cases, death.

 

It's all fun and games till somebody gets hurt

 

Is that a bad case of whiskey throttle https://youtu.be/ijvWanTNDmg
