Nico> >Larry, Do you want to send AVWEB or Aero-news.net "the rest of the story" from your view point? It is a good story of why to fly a Twin Commander. Tylor Hall> Hey Guys, I saw this story on Avweb when it came out. There was a link at the bottom of the story to make comments. I sent them my contact information and, basically, a copy of my story as I told it on this list. It seems that the story was actually written from an Air Force PR office in Langley. The F15 guys that came to my aid were form Mountain Home in Idaho and had only minimum contact with the article's writer. The Major from Langley told me on the phone that they had been up against a deadline and wished they had been able to contact me. I gave him a little more accurate account of what happened. And, of course, I repeated my thanks and admiration for the F15 guys' help. He was so interested in all this that he wanted my permission to go further with an AF PR type article in something like Parade Magazine. This is getting a little embarrassing, but having been in the Air National Guard for nine years and presently in the retired reserve of the US Army, I understand their desire for good publicity. Of course I'll cooperate if they do move on it. We'll see.

We just came back from picking up a fellow at MSY via Signature. Left Miami yesterday via Ft. Meyers for added fuel and than over the gulf back to MSY with Rob and other partner in our Haiti venture. ATC out vectored us perfectly to thread the needle through the soup coming Florida way. All was perfect and smooth except for the strong headwinds. We had a quick check on us by a fast moving F16 south of Pensacola when traveling west and down on the deck while looking for relief from the headwinds. They apparently mistook us for a nefarious type and had Jacksonville clearcall for the aircraft traveling west at so and so, to contact them immediately. We did and all was well, but it sure showed us that at least our air borders are guarded and enforced expertly. Interesting experience.
