Removing the co-pilot controls requires an A&P, and theres frequently
not one available when you need one to do it.


If Bob-Volpe is around who used to work for Island in NYC this brings up a
question.
As busy as Island was back in the 70s/80s
especially with sightseeing flights, did they have a mechanic ON DUTY at the
East 34st Heliport in case something happened or would they have to fly one in
from Garden City where their hangar was which I believe is about 15/20 flight
time.
Thanks.

Bob V. would have done fine. What kind of impression must I have made to
have my cover blown so precisely?

No. there was not a mechanic on duty at E.34th St. as you WELL know. I made
MANY chip light, FWU, etc. and a few engine change flights (Jake had the
replacement engine in the blue pickup). Now that my curiosity is so piqued
E-mail me personally, and I'll be very pleased to make your re-acquaintance.
Been many moons.
