This is the Man Who Raised me by
Badwater Bill
There was a tragic incident in our family six days ago. My father who
was suffering from diabetes, palsy, lower back disk dehydration and
depression decided to end his life. He was scheduled for a hip
replacement operation on Monday. We all were planning a big party for
his 80th birthday which...

Jess uses AOL and can't post to the ng easily. He can, however, read

Pilot Error? Is it Mr. Damron? by
Badwater Bill
C.D. Damron writes:
For example, if I build a plane that is impossible to fly or a
helicopter that cannot be auto-rotated, it is still very possible that
an accident report could conclude that I was at fault for not avoiding
a stall or not successfully performing an auto-rotation. Why?
Because...

The National Lake Eutrophication Survey 1971-1973 by
Badwater Bill
The following is to the best of my recollection. I haven't even
changed the name of a buddy I was with during these events. I may be
wrong about some of the statistics, like the number of divorces and
number of hot babes in the restaurants, but I'm close. Almost none of
this is an exageration...

I hate Chicken****s too! by

I hate people who offer crap to the market that kills people too, like

Go over the Binaries Files to see a real Hero by
Badwater Bill
Go over to Alt.binaries.pictures.aviation to get a shot of my pop.
You guys have no idea what a great warrior this guy was for this
country. Most of us could never in our wildest dreams ever live up to
the standards and the completed missions this guy did, then later
directed.

Does anyone think it's strange... by
Badwater Bill
So I did a search on this comic phrase: and it came up with a bunch of
Badwater Bill references.... I am flattered that you think I am him..
I suppose my writing is subconsciously influenced by BWB writings as
I thought some of them were nothing short of inspirational. But...

Musings of a Commercial Helicopter Pilot by
Badwater Bill
I wrote this on May 8,2002 and posted it on the rotorcraft group. I
just got an email this morning from a helicopter pilot who thinks he
wrote it. It was changed a bit, but essentially the same. Here it
is.

I think I'm about to retire from flying helicopters. It was fun for
the last 30...

Stearman in Rogue's Gallery by
Badwater Bill
I wanted to set the record straight. I didn't own that Stearman in
the photo. I just remember flying in it with O'ring. We had a buddy
who owned it. Our buddy was a great guy but a marginal pilot. O'ring
helped him come up to speed in that airplane. In fact I shot the
photo that is on the...

Flying With Hawks by
Badwater Bill
A few years ago I wrote a piece I posted here about flying with the
baby red tail hawks in my hang gliders. Many EAA chapter wrote me and
used that in their newsletters. Some even sent me copies when they
printed it. The problem is, I've lost it and I want it. Anybody got

Another one of those things I get from docents out at PASM. Don't

anyway.

Pulsar with a turbine? by

Anybody ever think about putting a SOLAR turbine on the front of a
Pulsar? Ric Stitt tells me his planetary transmission will drive a

150 hp and using the prop at constant rpm with varying pitch, that

I was wondering what the hell was going on here. I guess Osh is on
