Good post Walt. Where was NPA?

Pensacola Naval Airstation. It was on a Quicktrans flight, the Navy version of
Logair.

O.K. I've flown over that a bunch, didn't recognize it. Thought it
was going to turn out to be Niarobi or New-people's-army airport or
something in Africa. :-) Duh.

Note: The following is fiction and any resemblance to persons living
or dead is purely coincidental.

Old chief pilot was a lectra Log Air guy before and had some great
stories about that flying. L-188 I think? He said he used to fly
with this wine-o engineer and hippie co-pilot with ear-rings who'd
only stay awake until climb out and say "turn them knobs boys" and
then collapse on his little table. No matter what he'd say to his
stoner co-pilot the response was always "Cool daddy bear, Cool." Said
that was quite a shocker after having flown for Air Cal for 14
years(where he got canned for among other things: bringing the union
on the property, and doing the wild thing with a drunk stew in the aft
lav!) The guy was a legend among Air Cal pilots, and trained a lot of
them over the years. This guy was one of my mentors and friend and
somebody told me he was killed in one of those flights. But "Jack"
always had the "radar" on, if you know what I mean!
