So I ask, so what? G


A friend of mine went from F/O in a 747 to Captain in the MD-11 and
flies his Navajo fairly often. I asked him how he manages to avoid
carrier landings in the 'ho seeing as it sits so much lower to the
ground. His answer was "I fly alone if I haven't been in the Navajo
for a while."


Maybe he should put it up on floats!
