Sorry, I tend to skip your posts
I will hold off on sending you an autographed copy of my book then, but I am flattered that you had heard of me.

:wink:

Sure looks a lot like Holland with all those windmills and the flat terrain.

Maybe Amsterdam?

And wearing gloves to fly is as bad as wearing gloves for foreplay, no real tactile sensation... :mrgreen:

Never point your aircraft to some place your brain hasn't already been 5 minutes earlier.

It (they) are great, though now old, machines.

*Do any of you even fly?... or just talk and bitch about it?

What a bunch of "puds".

WWG?

*exclude istp, I know he is a "real" pilot.
Why yes I do fly and did fly the "8" and I didn't think my comments were of the "bitch" variety.

While there are a lot of inexperienced pilots on these forums, there are also a lot of vintage pilots. I believe most are "real", it is just their opinions that vary.

What is the point of a forum if everyone with a differing opinion from yours is a "Pud"? :?

to try to pull this thread a little back on course,does anyone here think this might be shot going into Git? I believe the approach into the prevailing tradewinds requires a tight, low turn onto final to avoid overflying Cuban airspace so they can't shoot at you.

He sure is happy.. was readin about the poor dude a bit. He's endured a lot to get where he is and most of his crews think he's an absolute riot of a time.

I'm not sure I'd be that freakin happy after the ordeal of an accident and recovery he had.

My pappy used to fly the greasy 8 as a freighter.. most of the crews loved that beast of a machine. Word was a couple of the captains he was with would also wear goofy lookn gloves

Where'd who go? : I bet you sat sideways in the 8!

Brought back a lot of memories, especially the "blue juice shitter"! Reminds me of a few skippers that I flew with.

Obnoxious, maybe, but that's just the hypoxia kicking in. You know those old birds don't pressurize as well as they used to.
