And what the heck! Another bonus is that WalMart roofs make a pretty good
small plane emergency landing place! (WINK-GRIN) I suspect they wouldn't hold up, but does anybody know for sure? Jose -- Get high on gasoline: fly an airplane. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Go to http://registry.faa.gov/arquery.asp and search for the names
WAL-MART and WALMART. I heard of a case where an employee complained of harrassment and WM had an investigation team from headquarters in the store before the day was over. Sam Walton puttered around from store to store in the early days in a Tri-Pacer. -- Gene Seibel Hangar 131 - http://pad39a.com/gene/plane.html Because I fly, I envy no one. |

Jose I have seen pictures of small planes landing on retail store roofs (or was it a factory?) before. Not much damage, as long as you don't hit one of those big AC units! A some factories have big skylights, too. I suspect that dropping a nosewheel would suck, too! -- Jim in NC |

Roofs in this area of NJ are designed for a snow load of around 30 pounds per square foot. I expect they're stronger in Iowa, but they're still not designed to hold a typical small plane.

OK you can subsidize the employer's wages by a 30% premium to bring them up
to your trailer-park wage level. Next time you call line service for a tow, tie-down or fill-up, tell them they're not worth the air you'd have to breath to say they're worthless pieces of s**t. Ensure you do that before they make the choice between pumping 100LL or JetA in your tanks. Bring cake for them to eat to get the message across. "Dave Stadt" wrote in message om...

Roofs in this area of NJ are designed for a snow load of around 30 pounds per square foot. Surely they're designed to hold more than that over a smaller area than the entire roof, though. Otherwise you couldn't even think about standing on them. I expect they're stronger in Iowa, but they're still not designed to hold a typical small plane. No doubt.
