Few pm showers for Friday. Mostly warm days and cool nights. Bring light to medium jackets for evenings and nights. The temp drops very fast after sundown, which is early being so close to base of mountains. I brought my 500B up from Oklahoma where I crop dust and keep it hangared. Right now it is at CO49, will move over to KCOS Wednesday. Look forward to seeing everyone, well .......

Asking a pilot what he thinks about the FAA is like asking a tree what it thinks about dogs. An airline pilot is a confused soul who talks about women when flying, and about flying when he's with a woman. The only thing worse than a captain who never flew as a copilot, is a copilot who once was a captain. Experience is gained through making mistakes. Mistakes are caused by a lack of experience. Hand-flying an ILS in a gusty crosswind is easier than adjusting the shower controls in a layover hotel. A smooth touchdown in a simulator is as exciting as kissing your sister. Most airline crew food tastes like warmed-over chicken because that's what it is. Everything is accomplished through teamwork until something goes wrong .... then one pilot gets all the blame. Standard checklist practice requires pilots to read to each other procedures used every day, and recite from memory those which are only needed once every five years. An FAA investigation is conducted by a few non-flying experts who take six months to itemize the mistakes made by a crew who had six seconds to react to the emergency. -- A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. - Peter Dorsett ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message commander-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Commander-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/commander-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/commander-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
