Pilot walks away from crash near Manchester, NH airport

Is this GA, or Far Part 135? AirNow used to be named Business Air. We
flew a bunch of UPS contracts for them in the 80's after they trashed
a couple of airplanes. "Robin Ou****er is a nice looking milf" says
Jim Hill in another interview, at the bar.


Is that a compliment, for a middle aged man?

I'm not familiar with the Emb-100 although I did fly the 110 20 years
ago. At 13007 lbs it was a two pilot aircraft under 135 with no
autopilot due to autotrim runaways in earlier years. Grossly
underpowered at 750 shp per side, you needed to pitch down
to the blue line during v-1 cuts looking at the treetops, and this
was during training weights.


Out of curiosity, do you not consider Part135 to be GA?

I know the AirNow operation. Nice folks.
Before the Embraers, Business Air used to operate a couple of DC-3's out
of DDH.

Me too!

Absolutely! What right do those poor people have to buy mittens for

Let them go to L.L. Bean!

My checkbook was stolen in December. I immediately closed the account.
Wal-Mart accepted a check for $500 a month later and went after me when it
bounced. I said I would fax them a copy of the police report. They said that
I *MUST* send them a notorized affidavit from my bank or they would turn it
over for prosecution.

Let the kids buy their mittens at Target. They were polite.

Did someone try to pass one of your checks at Target as well?

Criminal!

How could anyone be so dastardly as to try to collect on a bounced
check?

All the Wally-Marts around here run your check through as an electronic
debit, it would not have been accepted at all on a closed account.

A *decent* banking system prevents this from happening to the customer
at all. Checks - which really are deprecated these days - (for some reason,
spelled 'cheques' here) must be covered by a 'cheque guarantee card' here.

If not, the retailer probably won't accept them.

A cheque guarantee card basically guarantees the bank will pay the
retailer no matter what - so the retailer isn't on the hook to chase bad
cheques. If it's stolen (rather than just the customer didn't have the
money), it becomes the bank's problem. However, these days, with
electronic checks, that's unlikely to actually happen. In any case, no
one seriously uses cheques here any more for store payments. They are
only kept because they are convenient for settling payments with other
individuals or small traders - and the cheque guarantee card protects
them, too. For everything else, I don't know anyone who doesn't use a
debit or credit card.

Yup. Got a similar call from Target. I faxed them a copy of the police
report, and they thanked me for helping them.

The guy had a license made up with my name and address, with his picture.

I've got no problem with them trying to collect. I have a problem with their
rude behavior and threats. The check was not returned for insufficient funds
(NSF) it was returned because the account was closed.

I politely explained that the checkbook had been stolen, and that I had
closed the account. They told me that if I didn't provide a notorized
affidavit from the bank, they would press charges.

It's not my fault they accepted a stolen check. If they had bothered
checking, they would have found the account was closed before giving the
thief the merchandise. That's simply a risk they take when they accept
checks.

I'm not taking time off from work to go get paperwork from a bank because
they say so.

BTW, my wife is in court today testifying.
