I was of course a civilian pilot flying and demonstrating military airplanes
and in some cases doing research on one thing or another flying by
invitation of the Navy and some foreign governments.
My "given" call sign was "Sparrow", but my wife one day at a JC dinner
happened to pass on to a few of the Thunderbirds what the family called me
around the house. I'm afraid I've been "Baron Von Leftover" ever since!

| | I've always wondered about those so called $100
hamburger
| flights. Actually,
| | for me in the Mustang, or occasionally in the Bearcat,
| those burgers were a
| | bit more expensive :-)
| | If I remember right, most of those airport hamburgers
| bought at those little
| | "airport cafe's on the fields were grilled and
dripping
| with grease. Just
| | the thing to settle the old stomach down for a weekend
| pilot. Add this to
| | the stress of a hot cockpit on a summer day and a new
| pilot getting "just a
| | little bit lost " on the way home and it's a wonder
more
| people didn't end
| | up puking in the seat pockets :-))
| | We had a bevy of line boys who were supposed to take
care
| of things like
| | that, but it seems to me remembering back now, that
every
| damn time it
| | happened, I was the only one on the scene to take care
of
| it :-))

| | I've been lucky or smooth, never had anybody mess up
the
| | cockpit. Did have one student who came out to fly
and
| | brought his sister along for the ride, a dual
| cross-country
| | from Wichita to Emporia, Marion, Newton and back to
| Wichita.
| | About half way to Emporia they both became ill.
Seems
| they
| | had stopped for hamburgers for lunch and both also
were
| not
| | feeling well before take-off.
| | I had plenty (?) of sic-sacks and they used them.
When
| we
| | got to Emporia we threw the used bags in the trash
ands
| | bought all the sic-sacks they had at the airport, 4
to
| | restock the airplane. We also took a while to
settle
| down.
| | But half way to Marion the hamburgers took over
again
| and
| | shortly they had used all four new bags. Then they
| still
| | got ill because of the smell. She dumped the
aircraft
| | paperwork in the seat pocket at my instruction and
used
| the
| | zip lock portfolio and he used the right hand pocket
of
| his
| | NEW sports coat.
| | I, being the superior pilot/CFI with a nose used to
| | shoveling horse droppings and even some pigs [I was
a
| "pile
| | it" , before I became an aviator] was able to resist
the
| | need for myself. And the smell is still in my
nostrils.
| |
| | hen I was learning to be a CFI, I asked my friend
and
| | instructor at Spartan (Auggie) how to handle air
sick
| | students and was told that in the Cessna 150-172
| airplanes,
| | open the window and stick their head outside. Never
had
| to
| | do that.
| |
| | BTW, that student is now an FAA Inspector

| | | big ----- deal, also BFH = big hammer, tfc too
cold
| | |
| | | The 121 pilots have a full support staff to help
| with
| | flight
| | | planning and a crew to bring and serve the
coffee.
| The
| | 135
| | | charter pilot has the best and worst job, gets
paid
| to
| | fly
| | | pretty good airplanes but has to carry the
luggage,
| do
| | all
| | | the flight planning, brew and serve the coffee,
and
| | clean
| | | the potty.
| | |
| | | .................not to mention the cockpit vomit,
| which
| | is a smell that
| | | never really leaves the airplane, and I can still
| mentally
| | visualize to this
| | | very day .
