I'll bet when the bids came out from the front office for the

left
seat job on that bird, at least somebody trying for the seat

MUST
have been tempted to change his name to "Charlie Brown" :-))

groan!


bertie
Hey...ya have to admit......"Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin

are
arriving at gate 6" kind of has a certain "ring" to it :-))

I don't think the general public called it that, just the

employees.
I'd hate to have a name that mathced this airplanes nickname,

though.

Damn Bertie, I must be getting old but I can't make the connection.
I know I'm going to be sorry I said this, but give me another hint
:-)


Oh sorry, thought you got it.

Kinda sorry I started this now!

OK, the string goes on the tail.
