Right here, Jay!

As I recall it, the upshot of our NORDO donnybrook was that I agreed
that if one has a radio and can use it, it would be stupid not to. And
you agreed that if one can't use a radio, one ought to use one's eyes
religiously. Correct?

Did the Stinson ever see you?

Nope. And that incident is what got be going on an anti-NORDO rant that
carried into this newsgroup for over a month.

Which is how I met Henry Kisor, who was (at that time) very active on this
newsgroup -- and member of the Deaf Pilots Association. Obviously, his
take on the situation permanently changed my attitude toward NORDO flying...
:-)

I wonder what ever happened to Henry? I haven't seen him post here in a
very long time...
