What a memory you have Griffo...but honest and for true that wasn't me, but I do know who it was, however I still took a lot of well meaning crap from many many of you FSO characters for the sins of the other 2 guys.
The heaters were a lingering source of malcontent from IFD and KPY the turbo baron. We regularly flew them for long periods above FL250 with the heater not functioning properly and I can tell you it got colder than a mother in laws kiss.
I remember landing in Alice Springs after one such event and all 3 of us subsequently collapsing on the tarmac with jelly legs. That night we presented at the hospital with self diagnosed suspected frost bite but much to our disappointment we were diagnosed as being pissed and told to bugger off.
So much for compassion in the local health system.
I fully support the decision of those guys to return to Kal, open mike or not.
