    I selfishly did not want to wait to get in the book ring, so I bought a used copy for myself. Turns out it is a signed copy by Cary to someone. Their loss is my gain! Excellent read, especially if you were "there". My thanks to this group for making me aware. Ron

    I watched perhaps 1/2 of it. Truly insane is not descriptive enough, however, this is a family channel. Whew! Ron

    Gordyy, I'll kind of **** in here and say "that is part of the trouble with today's society". Those moms want everything to be clean and safe and perfect. It deprives those boys of a different sort of education that is, to me, very important. Without, all you raise is generations of wusses...

    1K viewings a day???? Holy Mackerel!!! That is really something, but I understand. I stumbled in here last winter surfing around trying to find a manual for my Sun 1600 Alternator Service Center. I have not left yet, nor have I found a manual for my Service Center. This does seem to be a...

    There is a slight problem with starting out late on this thread. It is so darned interesting that it is very hard to limit yourself to just 10 pages. It took me over a year to get here on this "real time" posting. I have finally made it. Thanks Tom and Chris. Keep going. I won't get...

    Thomas, That is a 301 Air Tractor. It is sort of an embarrassing large avatar. I really thought it would be smaller. After 35 years of back and forth flying, I have stopped. My entire career, with the exception of about 10 hours in a borrowed Pawnee was done in Pratt and Whitney radial...

    Thomas, I have been in and out of here for over a year. A very interesting and informative place to visit. I am currently about 10 months behind reading/viewing posts. I usually only have time in the winter months to sit and try to catch up. I will catch up, though. I am not sure how much...
