And tornados, floods, drought, blizzards, thunderstorms every frigging day, etc.

Yep...
AND that's the good points.

The Marais des Cygne River has washed away this
private grass strip once since it was built in 1995.

Nothing like living in the 'burbs' of Trading Post, KS.

Population - appx 2...... and no zip code.

Hee Haw !

And you have the B*LLs to compare California to anywhere? You have more
natural disasters than almost anywhere on the face of the earth!

P.S. BOb, you missed that one. Don't make me have to defend you again! g

A little anecdote he If you've never landed on the runway at
mountainous Grundy, VA, you just THINK you've landed an airplane.


Try telling that to my good friend "Boog":

For him it was just another day at the office.

Uh..... Del? While I have the greatest respect for pilots who fly the
bush, it seems a bit condescending to generalize the "alarm factor" of
all lower 48 pilots. In many cases, the equipment is the limiting
factor - not the pilot's ability or timidity. In other instances, the
lower 48 pilot simply does not have the experience nor the need to
gain such.


It was not my intention to imply that *all* lower 48 pilots share Mr.
Higdon's sentiments. In any field of endeavor there are always those in
the minority who choose to ridicule those who are capable of things they
themselves cannot do. My previous flame (if it can be called such, I
thought it was fairly tame) was directed only at those few individuals.

It would be equally as wrong for someone to make light of the bush
driver's capacity to handle a low-visibility high-density traffic
situation, simply because his steed may not have needed avionics or
because he may not be accustomed to machine-gun radio traffic. Can we
all just get along?


Sounds good to me.

Rich "I ain't got big tires" S.


Hey, I'm just a low time wannabe who hangs out with real bush pilots, as
far as that goes. I'm actually considering putting little tires with
wheelpants on my Bearhawk, on the theory that when I am flying airport
to airport, I want to go fast. The rest of the time I plan to spend on
floats. 8^) Maybe after I have a couple thousand hours I will consider
playing in the sticks and rocks like that.

Knowing your style, I didn't really think it was - just wanted to let you
know that's how it came across.

No big deal anyway - I probably should have hit delete instead of send.

I find this to be rather interesting, as I made the comment in fun,
because the N numbers and faces were deliberatly obscured.


Okay, okay. Now that everybody's overreacted, let's kiss and make up.

Higdon - Don't ever throw T-bone in front of a pack of snarling dogs agin!
