Hi everybody

[slodave]

Morning, G.

If you come to the 'Ring, will be joining us that night in Bonn as well and then travel on down to see Stijn?

[Geronimo '74]

If my car passed tech inspection, which is expected. And the weather is good, a few laps

[Geronimo '74]

If my car passed tech inspection, which is expected. And the weather is good, a few laps would be nice. Dunno bout spending the night in Bonn tho. Maybe, maybe not.

[slodave]

Live a little! What about joining us for a night with Stijn?

[slodave]

G, I expect we'll pass on the 'Ring if the weather is bad as well, though I'll still make a point to drive to it. I don't feel the need to add additional elements that could cause me to crash my cousins car. He's already allowing me to drive it, even offered to toss me the keys and venture on my own - something Germans don't do. I guess I "wowed" him on the New Years drive this year and he trusts me.

[slodave]

At some point, I'll message you my cousins cell number. I'll have my cell, but it'll be cheaper to talk on his.

Okay, suggestions as to what caused this... As my dad and I were putting his plane away, he called me over to look between the front seats and the immediate two backseats - they are back to back. On the floor behind his seat is a fire extinguisher secured to the floor and a bit of space under his seat. In that area, he found a shredded paper towel. He does keep paper towels in the plane, way in the back and it's a roll. This appeared to be one sheet. It's known that mice and rats will run up the landing gear and find a way in, just like Porsches. There were no stains on the carpet, no droppings at all anywhere near this "nest" and the shreddings were as white as can be.

WTF?

[Geronimo '74]

Anxious passenger??

[slodave]

Good call! I forgot to mention the pack (emergency stuff) he keeps behind his seat. It would be sitting on top of the FE. No way a passenger could do the shredding and hide it there.

Those seats are not thick! It's all about the weight! The backrests are a lot thinner than a car. There's a delicate balance between weight savings and elegance.

Morning Y'all

[slodave]

Morning, Rick.

[Rick V]

Yes it is and I am not happy about it, I mean Morning Dave

[slodave]

So it seems that your daughter knows all about Angel Flight. That must have been some flight!

[Rick V]

Yeah they did a touch and go in Texas for fuel and that is all. Basically nonstop from Hawaii to Pittsburgh.

[slodave]

Must have been a corporate sponsor. Very few private pilots have jets that can do Hawaii to Texas.

[Rick V]

Does it really matter? I was well aware of the program before someone in my family needed it. Dave please tell your dad I said thank you for his contribution to the program, and yours as well.
Not to sound overly dramatic but if it weren't for the help of this program there is a very good chance my grandson would not have survived. The surgery he needed can only be done in a couple of places, and he needed it quick.
So from me, thank you

[slodave]

No Rick, it doesn't matter. That's just a very long flight and must have been a jet ride. I guess I also thought that this program was for shorter distances.

You are very welcome. It's a service that all able pilots should consider. I will when I can. Until then, I will ride along as support from time to time.

Dave, I thought the shredded paper towels were a speciality in Salt Lake City Has D, been out there to visit?

(just joking Nynor)

[slodave]

Haha! I forgot to mention him in that post!
