hits home!!!!! I know i ahve only been doing this about 2 years but
you make friends and it's hard when they go way like this....

In winter there is usually n o survival on any ditching survival time
is about 2min to 3 hours depending if your wearing a suit and it's
quality. Mustang is now befor my next crossing a must the sterns i
have will give 1.5 to 2 hours in them conditions my raft EAM-T-4 with
cover will give 24 to 36 hours that is if i can get in to it...

If any on can do the survival training from CAMI *in OKC or cretin
AFB's go do it they will slam you in the water and let you egress not
funnn....

if he did get in his little raft if he even if he had it with him i
know! he some times went across with out one crazy fella... Was good
people very hard worker....

bye bye


Is it common for ferry pilots to specify a max SMOH time? I can
definately understand why, but I'm not sure that it statistically
makes a difference, as long as the engine has been well maintained.
Interesting.
