Letter to the FAA
Walt,
I *loved* chicken snacks! A breast, a wing, a roll, and a hard boiled egg for a quarter. The war ended when I was half way through UPT so I didn't get the opportunity to become a Yankee Air Pirate. Peace... Dan On 6/27/2017 9:05 AM, Walt Connelly wrote: Dan Marotta;949794 Wrote: Sorry Walt, my comment wasn't directed at you. It was a comment on the lack of knowledge of math and statistics. I'll either die today or I won't, so I guess I'll stay in bed and stay comfortable until it happens. That 50-50 concept only works with coin tosses, etc. and, as used, is disingenuous.

Actually it was in an article from Tom Knauff called "Launching Emergencies." I read everything I can find on the subject. I saw the humor, the tongue in cheek of what he said, did you not? http://www.eglider.org/NewsArticles/...mergencies.htm Walt- - -- Dan, 5J Dan, I don't take anything personally, i am not a person. I am all about math and science but I did see the humor in this comment and I am sure that Tom meant it that way. During the Vietnam Police Action my squadron commander once said, we might die today and then again we might not, so let's go fly the mission and see what happens. In our case the most dangerous part of flying was the take off. We were over and above maximum allowable war gross weight for our aircraft, Go AiR FORCE. The second most dangerous part was that inflight box lunch. But we still made the take off and I still ate that lunch and I survived. Have a great day. Walt -- Dan, 5J |
