CESSNAS FOR RUSSIA

[Joe Gopan]

Saw a handful of brand new Cessnas with ferry tanks the other at the International airport (Bangor ANG)

[Wolfman]

I helped a couple of guys load a short upright piano into a Cherkee 6-300 once. That was a tight fit !! At least the Piper had a rear cargo door.
Which one do you suppose has the most endurance. The pilot or the fuel tank ??

[Joe Gopan]

Depends on the number of Pee Bottles they carry.

[Wolfman]

Confuscious say, " Never drink lots of liquids before long flights ! " Especially coffee or soft drinks !!
My dad told me they had a relief tube to use on his PBY while out on long flights, searching the South Pacific for the bad guys.
I will hold the next thought.

[Joe Gopan]

We had relief tubes in our Beavers, I used to tell some select passengers that they were to speak to the pilot thru.

[Joe Gopan]

I've strapped in some real characters. The relief tubes were stowed midway up the side of the rear cabin and more that a few believed me when I told them they were voice activated speaking tubes.

[Wolfman]

You might be onto something here, Joel.
Your retirement.
Right a book.
The Beaver Flight Diary.
( pass #1) Hello. Hello. Capton, are you there ?
( pass #2) Blow in it. It might be stopped up.
( pass #1) Puff! Puff! Na !! I don't think he is listening. Phew ! When is the last time you took a bath ?

Morning coffee sometimes has this effect on me. I'll shut up !!

[Joe Gopan]

There is nothing better than a good laugh, it makes work fun and interesting.

[Wolfman]

I did graduatefrom High School.
Should have suggested you "Write a book."
Still gonna blame it in the coffee !
Hope all enjoyed !!

[Joe Gopan]

Oh, for the good 'ol days.
