I love Jim Campbell

Ampmeter,

I'm crushed. I can be just as obnoxious as those other losers you
mentioned.

If I gave enough of a damn to try anymore.

I've known many of the regulars on RAH for several years.
Maybe I'm inclined to forgive transgressions too easily. I
know that BWB, Urban, Springer and Johanson can all be
irritating and obnoxious at times.

But, they, at least, all have the cojones to identify who
they are. We all know who they are even though some may
think that Jerry Springer wouldn't have time between TV
shows to peruse the internet.

Hey John,

Nobody's going to believe this, but one day on the 74 I picked up the
RA/DG(restricted articles/Dangerous Good) form and it listed several
pounds of Plutonium on the form! At the former airline we had a TI
limit of 50, but to get cushy government DG mac contracts we got a
special exemption from the faa (no passengers allowed) that had no
limit to the TI. I remembered that our ops specs specifically
prohibited this stuff from being on board. I complained to the
captain who had the agent take the form back to ops as we sat in the
jet waiting to go. The ramp agent returned with another form that
said nuclear medicine sample, and then he clammered back down the
ladder before I could question him, got in his truck and took off. I
couldn't help notice that the Cargo doors were all still closed so
nothing got taken off. :-#

I'm still kicking myself today for not going inside and burning a copy
for the Union to see today (this was pre-union)

and I thought that glow was the moon every night!

John were you army air corps, then USAF?

No doubt, Stricker, you're in a class by yourself... Now,
is that high class or low class......

BTW, did I send you the pic of my new shop?

I rented one of those DR weed wackers for 4 hours. At one
time, I thought I might have to hook a cable onto my truck
and tow the DR out of the weeds. The weeds were over 6 feet
tall, the DR was grunting its way forward and I was HOPING
that we'd make it to the far side of the patch.

I don't have a distance figure but guys who have flown an O-540 powered
Bearhawk say that by the time you are finished putting in the power, you
are airborne. Bob Barrows' 2nd prototype with the 260hp lyc weighs in
at 1270 empty with a constant speed prop. Wing area = 180 square feet.
You do the math. The flaps are around 8 feet long, and go down 50
degrees.

On AAC, yes until the USAF broke off in '47.

AAC went out of business years before 1947. I think it turned into USAAF in
1941. I would have to look it up to be sure.
