I know i ahve only been doing this about 2 years but you make friends and it's hard when they go way like this.... In winter there is usually n o survival on any ditching survival time is about 2min to 3 hours depending if your wearing a suit and it's quality. Mustang is now befor my next crossing a must the sterns i have will give 1.5 to 2 hours in them conditions my raft EAM-T-4 with cover will give 24 to 36 hours that is if i can get in to it... If any on can do the survival training from CAMI *in OKC or cretin AFB's go do it they will slam you in the water and let you egress not funnn.... if he did get in his little raft if he even if he had it with him i know! he some times went across with out one crazy fella... Was good people very hard worker.... bye bye Is it common for ferry pilots to specify a max SMOH time? I can definately understand why, but I'm not sure that it statistically makes a difference, as long as the engine has been well maintained. Interesting. --Dan |

I'll tellya right now I'd rather be flying one with five hundred hours on it
than five hours on it. Properly maintained, of course. Jim -- "If you think you can, or think you can't, you're right." --Henry Ford Is it common for ferry pilots to specify a max SMOH time?

New low for you there Jay. Bertie Hi Bertie, I have watched your posts for quite a few years. WTF gives you the balls to bitch out Jay for posting that NWPilot mentioned to him, on a phone call, that one of his "compadres" went down on a ferry flight over the North Atlantic? NWPilot, and a very small group of pilots, perform a very vital service to the aviation community. I am not a pilot myself. I am a retired US Air Force enlisted communications puke who had job responsibilities that took me into the worlds of the "bus driver" and the "fighter jock". However, I do know a whole ****load of civilian pilots, of various qualification levels as well. In fact, I have a close family member who is a "four striper" on a major US airline. Because of this, I have a pretty good outlook on the military and civilian pilot communities. However, in the case of NWPilot and his "compadres", it takes a very special group of pilots to ferry "small" aircraft over the two big "ponds" off the east and west coasts of the North American continent. The North Atlantic, like the North Pacific, can be fatal to anyone who "screws the pooch". It appears, that in this case, a mechanical failure may have occurred and the airplane went down, taking the pilot with it. However, none of us in this NG knows the exact details of this accident and probably will never know. You may be a sim pilot, or a "pattern pilot" or a non-pilot who may have an interest in aviation. Before you start bitching out guys like Jay, pull your head out of your ass and understand how airplanes, and aviation, work. For the record, I have not been anywhere in the State of Iowa since May 1988. I have never been to Iowa City and have not stayed at Jay's establishment. He, and Mary, bust their asses off to run a great little business. It is great that they are both airplane owners and pilots. As I watch your posts, your stupidity is hilarious at the minimum, and criminal at the maximum. If you are a pilot, you exhibit a stupidity only exhibited by various US politicians. In this particular case, Jay was passing on what he was told on a phone call to the people who frequent this NG. Before you decide to bitch Jay (or anyone else for that matter) out do your ****ing homework!!! I have been lurking, and posting, in NGs since the mid 90s. You, and MX, are just as bad, if not worse, than the "MI-5 Guy". Do yourself a favor and get your **** together. You, and MX, will become more credible as a result. Later Rick |
