I thought women were the reason men fly into moutains. ![]() Are you referring to the USAF fighter jock who crashed into a mountain in the Rockies a few years back? Are you being serious or is there a punchline coming up next? IIRC, it was the late '90s. The airman was despondent over family issues, apparently intentionally CFIT, and the location of the mountainous crash site (and the on-board ordnance) was delayed due to the winter weather. Nothing funny about it. |

When queried about the crew's safety, the handlers replied that the suits were to prevent the humans from infecting the monkeys (which resembled Ms. Nathalie btw). Ever since that flight, I' ve had an urge to lay back in the top of a tree on a Caribbean island hillside soaking up the sun and spitting at the other monkeys. D. LOL! :^D I love it. Sounds like a great affliction Doug. Do you have a boat? Yeah, I'm sick of being around huge boxes labeled, "Lab specimens; Danger: infectious substance; Not for transport on passenger aircraft." Asian Labs. I pointed out to management that in "econ" setting on the aircon panel (which they dictate we use to save gas) on the bus that 25% of the air back there is scavenged back into the aircon manifold and mixed in with the main duct (the stuff we're breathing.) Management's response was: "What are you, some kind of trouble maker?" Ya think those bugs could float 100 feet into my nostrils? Did management care? Ever since those flights I've had this constant urge to soak my brain tissues in good laboratory alcohol... and float around in a shallow pool of water on my back like a bug in a petri dish. pac |

Nobeody could figure out why the very experienced pilot took a wrong course out of Vegas into terrain. Somebody finally figured out that he probably turned the plane over to his rookie co-pilot and went back to smooze with the movie star. George Patterson This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind". |

Somebody finally figured out that he probably turned the plane over to his rookie co-pilot and went back to smooze with the movie star. It was in 1942. Carol Lombard (wife of Clark Gable) and her mother were killed in the crash outside of Las Vegas. The plane was inexplicably 6.7 miles off the beam on a CAVU night. One of the theories was that the pilot was back in the cabin visiting and that the co-pilot screwed up. Other theories were that the radio beam was not accurate, as the Army had been messing around with them recently for security reasons (like a bunch of Japanese bombers were going to suddenly appear and home in on Las Vegas).
