Good job Sandy!!!! Don't forget 'ol #4!!! We are all "mere mortals"!!

Oh yeah, the engine on my brother's plane, shall we say "quit running" at 6000', talking about "a check your laundry moment"!!!

"but If your pilot has a heart attack, I`m bringing that puppy in on final"........this is when "Depends" are worth their weight in gold!!

@`92 my buddy Drew calls and asks if I want right seat over to the west coast. He flew corporate for Minton Groves. We took the Piper over and picked up the Queen Air.

Ah, a chance at flying a Beech twin. I could not have been happier. Well at 500 ft. off the deck commin`outta Tampa, smoke starts pouring out of the defroster vents. Not I just lit a ciggie smoke, but full on blinding white smoke.

Drew gets on the horn and very loudly relays this is 47 echo romeo requesting IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY COME AROUND. I thought to myself....hmmm Drew, you might want to work on your bedside manner there. He was focused only on the runway. I looked at the guages and saw some increases.....you`ve got to be kidding me.

Um, Drew, ah you do realize that if we lose power we will not make it back to the field.

Shut up I`m pilot in command. Ohhhhhk.

I am now looking around for fields and checking the guages.

Why don`t we check the list in reverse. We get to turn off the defroster.
Presto.

They gave us a courtesy hangar. Took the core out of the equation.

1 piece of copper pipe and 4 clamps on the logs.

Drew was buzzing cattle on the way home.
