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... Bertie 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. Bertie I never knew that!! Learn something new about people every day. -- Dudley Henriques |
