Big scare story

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?

Third scariest was when I looked over Mary's left shoulder, in the
pattern,
and saw a beautiful Stinson ready to T-bone us in mid-air. I grabbed the
yoke and broke right and down, and we missed each other by tens of feet.

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...

Bingo, Henry! Glad to see you're back on the 'groups...

Or have you just been posting under a nom de guerre of late?
