So who is the REAL "Lucky bastard" ?
Lucky Bastard #1: Flys corporate jets for a living and
someone else's toys, including a beautiful CJ-6. Doesn't
even need his own airplane. Gets to test fly a Hunter Jet.
Downside, lives up North where Summer is measured in days.
Lucky Bastard #2: Flys someone else's B-24 Liberator and
B-17 Fortress for all expenses paid. Owns his own beautiful
CJ-6. Lives off the fat of UAL's better days on an airpark
down South where Summer never ends.
??? Maybe BOTH are Lucky Bastards? As well as anyone else
who gets to fly, let alone to one of our events in a
Warbird?
Craig "Lucky Bastard #3" Payne

FLYING STUFF YOU MAY NEVER KNOW ABOUT.......
Though I Fly Through the Valley of Death ... I Shall Fear No Evil
... For I am at 80,000 Feet and Climbing. (sign over the entrance to
the SR-71 operating location Kadena, Japan).
You've never been lost until you've been lost at Mach 3. (Paul F.
Crickmore-test pilot)
From an old carrier sailor - Blue water Navy truism; There are
more planes in the ocean than submarines in the sky.
If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a
helicopter -- and therefore, unsafe.
Navy carrier pilots to Air Force pilots: Flaring is like squatting
to pee.
When one engine fails on a twin-engine airplane you always have
enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash.
Without ammunition, the USAF would be just another expensive flying
club.
What is the similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots?
If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies; If ATC screws up, the pilot
dies.
Never trade luck for skill.
The three most common expressions (or famous last words) in aviation
are: "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh S#!+!"
Weather forecasts are horoscopes with numbers.
Progress in airline flying; now a flight attendant can get a pilot
pregnant.
Airspeed, altitude, and brains. Two are always needed to
successfully complete the flight.
A smooth landing is mostly luck; two in a row is all luck; three in
a row is prevarication.
I remember when sex was safe and flying was dangerous.
Mankind has a perfect record in aviation; we never left one up
there!
Flashlights are tubular metal containers kept in a flight bag for
the purpose of storing dead batteries.
Flying the airplane is more important than radioing your plight to a
person on the ground incapable of understanding or doing anything
About it.
When a flight is proceeding incredibly well, something was
forgotten.
Just remember, if you crash because of weather, your funeral will be
held on a sunny day.
Advice given to RAF pilots during WWII. When a prang (crash)
seems inevitable, endeavor to strike the softest, cheapest object in
the vicinity as slowly and gently as possible.
The Piper Cub is the safest airplane in the world; it can just
barely kill you. (Attributed to Max Stanley, Northrop test pilot)
A pilot who doesn't have any fear probably isn't flying his plane to
its maximum. (Jon McBride, astronaut)
If you're faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the
crash as possible. (Bob Hoover - renowned aerobatic and test pilot)
If an airplane is still in one piece, don't cheat on it; ride the
bastard down. (Ernest K. Gann, author & aviator)
Never fly in the same cockpit with someone braver than you.
There is no reason to fly through a thunderstorm in peacetime. (Sign
over squadron ops desk at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ, 1970).
The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm,
and, a good bowel movement. The night carrier landing is one of the
few opportunities in life where you get to experience all three at
the same time. (Author unknown, but someone who's been there)
"Now I know what a dog feels like watching TV." (A DC-9 captain
trainee attempting to check out on the 'glass cockpit' of an A-320).
If something hasn't broken on your helicopter, it's about to.
Basic Flying Rules: Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go
near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the
appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space.
It is much more difficult to fly there.
You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full
power to taxi to the terminal.

Personally, I would not agree either with either/or method of FOD
prevention. ie: Russian versus a FOD cover. But I would certainly agree
that both should be used. Not either/or. Would you agree with both
methods; Russian AND a FOD cover?

Personally I speculate Mr. Fortin is both good and
lucky :-) Looks like great fun!
FOD: Dennis, I agree neither way is 100% and a combo
approach may increase the FOD prevention percentage.
What I meant about the Russian approach is already a
combination of loose article prevention (by not
allowing it into the craft initially), toolkits
checked for inventory after usage, slapping the
fuselage, etc. The only 100% way of preventing FOD is
to not allow it (nor the opportunity) in your plane;
easily stated, can be difficult in practice. I just
don't want to see FOD covers becoming a catalyst for
reduced vigilance.

To all you California listers and lurkers:
Castle Airport Museum's get together on April 25th.
WINGS OF HISTORY:
Also of interest, the following weekend, -- The Wings of History -- are
having a big two day event. 'Wings n' Things' will be May 1st and 2nd, with
old aircraft starting to arrive at the Museum (South County Airport) in San
Martin on Friday, the 30th. There will be lots of food and other displays
featured.
I will not be there as I am still burning the midnight oil in an attempt to
have the miniyak at ARS.
Best to all,
Doug Sapp
