it is unsettling to see more evidence that even in the early 70's (i.e. before the hangar door hit him on the head) Hempel was being a cowboy and that:
"the Bonanza endorsement cost (you) an hour of flying Barry around the training area and the AF circuit while he read the paper
!"
doesn't sound very professional of him does it, but sadly very typical of the man ?
see the hempel inquest thread elsewhere on PPRune for more about Hempel's misdeameanours, sins, crimes
and worse.
Can't wait for the report of the Coronor !
I agree with you about the Bonanaza, what a great plane.
