Which reminds me. I wonder if that person would consider the guys
flying for "Air America" back in the 60's and 70's as not real pilots
flying toys.

A Commercial Pilot friend of mine, Kenny Verdon, went over to fly with Air
America. We never heard from him again. He's still over there somewhere in
Laos under some wreckage in the mountains. We heard he was missing, but
little else came back down through the AA grape vine.
Tough work!

I don't think the movie "Air America" missed the mark by a lot.

Dudley, what year was Kenny flying over Laos?

As I mentioned before, I think, I did a lot of flying in Laos in a
AC119K out of NKP in 1972. Some SAR stuff, and we actually flew
support for that mysterious "Laotian General" mentioned in the movie
Air America. By my count I flew 195 combat missions during my tour
there, but according to the Air Force I flew 159.

Not sure what happened to the 36 I "thought" I flew.

I'll have to say that we were kind of frustrated when we were flying
over Laos at the same time Air America was. There was no
communication, although we were basically doing the same kind of
support.

Ah, well. Like I said, Air America had a great bar in Udorn. Some
time, when I'm really drunk, I'll tell the story about when we had a
couple of days off and "rented" a taxi, filled the trunk full of beer,
and drove the damn thing from Nakhon Phanom to Udorn. 90 miles, took
us two days, but it was a hell of a road trip.

OKAY, I digress. Long story short, I flew a number of SAR missions in
Laos, but those were all military-related. I have a feeling the Air
America guys were on their own. We never really heard from them.

Less than that during the week, more during weekends and days off.
It's a break from flying as a way to spend what leisure time I have.

Bull****.

My flight didn't violate any of them moron. Keep guessing and maybe you
can
figure out why.

Maybe I should just ask the FAA how they feel about buzzing fences and
power
lines, and which FARs it violates. What's your real name?


Naw, come on dipship, impress us with your reading and comprehension skills.
This is an easy one.

Besides, that FAA doesn't care, they know the anwer.

Flying has nothing to do with being in the air; it's just a matter of
procedures and controls.

What a moron!!!!!!!! Flying has nothing to do with being in the air. Take
your meds and call us in the morning.

A classic example of your inability to grasp reality.



Your sim doesn't have avionics, it just has a graphic representation of
them.

What does a G1000 have?

Congratulations!
You've just moved to the top of the list of "Idiotic Usenet Statements"
and stand a very good chance of being selected as the "Moron of the
Month".


Agreed!!!!

That even tops his acusing the USAF of cowardace a few weeks ago when he was
unable to log on to their web site.
