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.

Well, we were talking about the 727 that rolled over and just googled
the name and came up with those guys. He was a kind of Gene Autry type,
I think.
