| Nah :-) We're at 40 years now and counting. My wife is
greatly appreciative
| of a good sense of humor. So were the Thunderbirds that
year. They all knew
| and loved my wife. She laid that out there knowing that
the camaraderie we
| shared with the team would be, (and has remained) a
lifetime thing.
| Even today all of us get a big kick out of remembering
that night at the
| dinner table.
| Don't worry, I got even. One of the guys' wife was and is
a world class
| baker. He showed up the next day with a tray of hot
biscuits. To this day,
| his call sign around here is "Muffin"....just the thing
for an Air Force
| Fighter pilot :-))

now

I'm
| just Jim Macklin, never Jimmy.

| |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 remember reading an article, about Jacques Yves
| | Cousteau
| | | in the National Geographic. There was a mention
of
| a
| | diver
| | | getting sick at about 200 feet below the surface
who
| | threw
| | | up into his Aqua-Lung filling both of the hoses
that
| | | connected to the regulator. This was before the
| | addition of
| | | check valves in the breathing tubes.
| | |
| | | I've had some real good chili and or BBQ at
airports
| in
| | OK
| | | and TX.

| | | | 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 .
