Gee, that could be dangerous in an ultralight in a crosswind on t/o or
landing if the tires has not complete dried. ;-) Chris Robert M. Gary wrote: George Patterson wrote: Robert M. Gary wrote: Maybe the WWII generation was the greatest generation? Because they would curse on the radio?????? And take a leak on the tires, damn it! -Robert |

Considering the presumably crushed and obstructed radio antenna, I am surprised that the tower was able to receive the transmission. In the snowbank it could have made an excellent antenna. Sort of like the aluminum on a TV's rabbit ears. And it is a neat story. Mike Weller |

Not too long ago, well, mebe a couple of years.. but no more than that, I was sitting at the hold line for 24 waiting for a little blue Grumman Tiger to land.

He had the upwind wing low, the airplane was tracking straight and the nose was pointed right down the runway. Unfortunately the nose gear has that long, streamlined wheel pant which was weather vaned at near 30 degrees (looked like even more... Grummans have a castering nose gear) Every time that nose gear would touch it would whip straight and go into one GAWD awful oscillation. About the third time this happened he must have had a death grip on the yoke and the mike button ended up pushed. As he pulled the nose up yet again I heard, "Come one you Mutha...." complete with family history, canine ancestory, and un-natural habits. It must have worked as it stayed down the next time. :-)) I did have to wait to quit laughing before departing though.

A few years back I was just turning downwind from the 45 at an uncontrolled airport when I heard "McMinnville traffic, Skipper 12345 turning left base runway two-two" I couldn't resist and immediately transmitted "McMinnville traffic, Cessna 5156-Hotel left downwind two-two, number two behind the little son-of-a-Beech." There must have been a bunch of people monitoring the CTAF because I heard three different laughs and a dozen clicks. - John Ousterhout - |

I sometimes wonder how I managed to get through an entire career in this
business without making the compulsory faux pax on the radio. Now the intercom is another story!!!! :-))) Dudley "Roger" wrote in message ...

I hope someone drafts a law to protect us. We need a law making it
illegal to pee on aircraft tires before someone dies. Dear God, why isn't our gov't protecting us from this. ![]() If our founding fathers saw how thick the book of federal regulations were they'd roll over in their graves. -Robert |
