| | 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 :-))

| | 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.

| | |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!

| | | | puking into your mask :-))

| | | | 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 .
