Rennie,
It takes a lot of courage for a Sand Lapper to impugn a Tar Heel's manhood....perhaps you beat too much Georgia Clay agin your noggin years back!
Among the places I did not work....was PHI. I was tickled mightily to hear the yarn told of a new pilot's reply to the Chief Pilot's (Old Time PHI guy)....question of "You ever work for PHI?"
To be told...."Not until I hired on here at Aramco!" which I hear runined the CP's dinner.
You might tell the folks about how Aramco came to have the un-stabilized Bell 212's.....and how the rationalization was the aircraft would not be operated in IMC/IFR "weather" conditions.
I was so impressed with the story....I changed my room name to "Sasless"!
Come sailing when you get a chance....Rum is ready....Beer is cold!
