    Barry- My plan is/was to attend ARS, but the wife has thrown a monkey wrench into the works. Seems we will be moving into Boston around the time of ARS. My hope is to get the move done or done enough to come. Airplane reservations have been made! If I don't know for sure until after the 7th you still willing to give me the early bird? I figure this is better than registering than asking you to reimburse me. Steve On Friday, March 30, 2007, at 02:25PM, "Barry Hancock" <bhancock@worldwidewarbirds.com> wrote: > >

    Subject: filling air tanks
    Y'all-- I s'pose it goes without saying that any pressurized vessel (like onboard air tanks) can be dangerous. You may recall that at the Reno races last year a very expensive (and formerly very pretty) P-51 had a very large ho le blown in it because somebody overfilled an oxygen tank. Didn't happen ri ght away either--took a while after the fill. Fortunately (?), it happened on the ground, not in flight, nobody hurt. We gotta worry about both the contents and the pressure. Be careful out there, especially if you let somebody else service your air supply. Denn is' suggestion to place a conspicuous label--"compressed air only"--by the fi ll port is a good one. I'd also add "maximum pressure 50 bar (735PSI)". P.S. For sale: beautiful Yak-52TW, only 168TTSNEW, Whirlwind 3-blade, King, Garmin, lights, baggage, lotsa fuel etc. Imported and sold here new--onl y $135K--half the price of a new Yak-52TW. See my website/Barnstormers or call for details. Hope to have her at ARS for the benefit of inquiring minds.

    Subject: Re: filling air tanks
    My question for everyone is ... why do you need a placard? Who is PIC? Are you not regulating your own a/c? The two times I have had to bum air at airports I got the maintainers to donate their nitro and it worked fine, but I knew better than to put pure O2 in. I think this might be just a case of darwinism and you need to watch what you do with your ride. Don't know the particulars of Reno, but the previous posts about dudes using pure O2 are frankly scary and self-critiquing!

    Subject: Re: filling air tanks
    Well, uh, gee gosh....that's an "interesting" position to take. I must confess that there have been 1 or 2 occasions in my flying career when other people have done maintenance/service to "my" airplanes....military, airline, and even (gasp, say it isn't so!!!) my Yak or Sukhoi that I didn't personally supervise. I guess I just didn't realize what a dangerous act I was performing by having professional maint./service people work on my airplanes without my direct supervision. I guess I should have realized that they could have made a mistake....and I should be there 24/7 to correct them. Holy crap! (Of course, in the most politically correct sense of the expression...no insult intended to any real or imiginary religious being nor to any fecal matter that might be involved).
