In response to Jay's post I would like to post the following story to pay
respects to an aviator that took the extra step to help a fellow pilot in
trouble. If anyone has a similar story I'd like to hear it.


Thank you for taking the time to post this.

Just when you start to wonder if (given world events) there are any saints
or angels left...along comes a story like this.

Awesome...just awesome.

Happy Holidays Kobra!

I second his notion that pilots are different. Coming back from Oshkosh
one year ( pre IFR cert ) I go stuck near Detroit overnight. The
college student who was working the desk at the FBO found us a motel
about 5 miles away and drove us over there. His was not working the
next day so he gave us his home phone number and said to call him in the
morning and he would drive over and pick us up to return us to the
airport. The most unusual part about all this is that it was not
unusual. I've heard many similar stories from other pilots.
