Is that grounds for divorce?

My brother called me El Lardo De Fats when we were kids, now
he's 61 years old, 5'10" and about 250 lbs. while I'm 60
next week, 5'11" and 200 lbs even. Sometimes I use
Capt.Kerosene, sometimes I'm John Galt, most of the time I'm
just Jim Macklin, never Jimmy.

| | | Brings back memories :-)
| | | 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 .
