The 757 stall warning sound is an option. It is turned on, if your
company bought it, by the warning level settings. What airline? I
might be able to tell you where it is. I have some manuals around
yet.

Ah, won;'t say! I haven't stalled one of them, yet, anyway..

We must have done some in the sim when I got typed, but I can;'t
remember.
Anyhow, the CEO's name was Hoot Gibson, if you remember. That's the
reason for the stall warning sound request.
(not a factual story, just an industry rumor).
OK. I don't think that hoot got to management, did he? There's been a
lot of Hoot Gibsons. All named after one cowboy movie star from the
thirties, apparently...

Hoot Gibson the Astronaut is one. The next name I've run into a lot in
aviation is "Dusty" Rhoads :-))



Haven;'t heard of any of them yet. I looked up Hoot Gibsons on the net
trying to figure out how the name came to be so common. The Cowboy hoot
was also an air racer in the thirties. I think he raced a Waco of some
description.

I never knew that!! Learn something new about people every day.
