In keeping with the tradition of straying off topic once in awhile
(especially when it involves humor), I present to you the
following...........
Enjoy!
Frank
YAK-52
In his book, Sled Driver, SR-71 Blackbird pilot Brian Shul writes:
"I'll always remember a certain radio exchange that occurred one day as
Walt
(my backseater) and I were screaming across Southern California 13 miles
high. We were monitoring various radio transmissions from other aircraft
as
we entered Los Angeles airspace. Though they didn't really control us,
they
did monitor our movement across their scope " .
"I heard a Cessna ask for a readout of its groundspeed."
"90 knots," Center replied.
"Moments later, a Twin Beech required the same."
"120 knots," Center answered.
"We obviously weren't the only ones proud of our groundspeed that day as
almost instantly an F-18 smugly transmitted, 'Ah, Center, Dusty 52
requests
groundspeed readout.' There was a slight pause, then the response, '525
knots on the ground, Dusty.' "
"Another silent pause. As I was thinking to myself how ripe a situation
this
was, I heard a familiar click of a radio transmission coming from my
backseater. It was at that precise moment I realized Walt and I had
become
a real crew, for we were both thinking in unison."
"Center, Aspen 20, you got a groundspeed readout for us?"
There was a longer than normal pause .... "Aspen, I show 1,742 knots."
No further inquiries were heard on that frequency.
In another famous SR-71 story, Los Angeles Center reported receiving a
request for clearance to FL 600 (60,000ft). The incredulous controller,
with
some disdain in his voice, asked, "How do you plan to get up
to 60,000 feet?
The pilot (obviously a sled driver), responded, "We don't plan to go up
to
it, we plan to go down to it."
He was cleared.
-------------------------------------
The pilot was sitting in his seat and pulled out a .38 revolver. He
placed
it on top of the instrument panel,
and then asked the navigator, "Do you know what I use this for?"
The navigator replied timidly, "No, what's it for?"
The pilot responded, "I use this on navigators who get me lost!"
The navigator proceeded to pull out a .45 and place it on his chart
table.
The pilot asked, "What's that for?"
"To be honest sir," the navigator replied, "I'll know we're lost before
you
will."
-
More tower chatter:
Tower: "Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!"
Delta 351: "Give us another hint! We have digital watches!"
One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short
of
the runway while a MD80 landed.
The MD80 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the
Cherokee. Some quick-witted comedian
in the MD80 crew got on the radio and said, "What a cute little plane.
Did
you make it all by yourself?"
Our hero the Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came
back
with: "I made it out of MD80 parts. Another landing like that and I'll
have
enough parts for another one."
There's a story about the military pilot calling for a priority landing
because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked."
Air Traffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two behind
a
B-52 that had one engine shut down.
"Ah," the pilot remarked, "the dreaded seven-engine approach."
A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While
attempting
to locate the aircraft on radar,
ATC asked, "What was your last known position?"
Student: "When I was number one for takeoff."
Taxiing down the tarmac, the 757 abruptly stopped, turned around and
returned to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off.
A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, "What was the
problem?"
"The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine," explained
the
flight attendant," and it took us
awhile to find a new pilot."
"Flight 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 degrees."
"But Center, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"
"Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?"

Brian,
I'll check my cabinet. I may have one, but I'm not sure. I'll let you
know.

A good instrument shop can probably remark a US ASI in KPH for you if you can't
find original equipment. For instance, you can get one dual-marked in KPH and
KTS which makes a lot of sense for someone flying their airplane in the US.

There is a time to laud one's country and a time to protest.
A good citizen is prepared to do either as the need arises.

Hi Jorgen,
I have installed two Horizon tach generators, one in my old CJ and one in
what is now Marshall's I-3. Reading digital numbers may seem odd at
first but I adjusted quickly and came to much prefer the digital tach. The
weight savings is insignificant, but the reliability and functionality of a
solid state tach is worth it's weight in gold, as far as I'm concerned. Well,
with the prices gold is going for these days, that might be a bit
overstated, but the bottom line is don't do it for weight savings, do it for
reliability and functionality.

Yak heavy-duty tent
I have for sale a heavy-duty hangar tent. Galvanized steel construction and

also.
