Re: Joe Gopan?
Joe always reminded me of a Flight Instructor at the local airport I hung out at.
A group of locals would be sitting around the pilot lounge talking and Bob would ask a technical flying question.
We would discuss it and come up with what we thought was an answer, then ask Bob, " OK Bob. What's the answer ? ".
He would look at us and smile. " I'm not going to tell you. Get a book and look it up ."
Maybe he is just on a trip to get an R-Kitty.
Hope Joe is OK.

Re: Joe Gopan?
Last I spoke with Joe, back in June, he was having health issues. Sending a prayer his way.

Re: Joe Gopan?
Hey everyone, thank you for your concern for Joel. I just got off the phone with him and he's been dealing with some health issues but is otherwise doing well. He said thank you for the concerns.
