....some 'very silly Talair pilots' (The actual words used!) had been shooting their pistols off the balcony of their residence at various things ....
That is correct but I don't recall the name of the pilots involved.
Another incident that attracted the attention of the Constabulary was the ex Macair pilot taxiing a Baron at Wau, reached across his front RH seat passenger, opened the door and shot a stray dog that wandered onto the strip.
There were other incidents but I don't recall the details.
Chuck is correct, the good days are gone. I went from never locking my doors in 1963, to barbed wire, guns, dead locks and security guards in 1985.
I sometimes wonder where it will all end up? It can never change until honesty and integrity comes into the political system.
