airtwardo 7 #1 June 16, 2006 Just back from a No. Cal. airshow demo... Didn't really like what the owner of the 170 we used 'called' his aircraft! "HE" said it was in reference to how he LANDS the taildragger... ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 7 #3 June 16, 2006 Dennis Farina is their jump pilot??!? *** Damn! A little more white hair and he'd be a twin! We were supposed to have a Twin Bo as a jump platform, but the guy had some kind of mechanical and couldn't make it. This guy volunteered his 170 and his pilot services so the show could go on... A low time pilot with 300 hours, no commercial rating, no paperwork for door removal etc. BUT!!! A grateful hats off to the local feds that were at the show, after checking our demo gear and ratings...they went way above and beyond the 'call' to assist with getting all the proper documents and every duck lined up in a perfect row. ...Just love it when a plan comes together! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
