Doug,
Charleston, I should be so lucky. And of course we take your word for the translation of the local dance. For me, I will always remember the Heart of Fayetteville
https://www.cardcow.com/295384/heart...orth-carolina/ and "the Blue rinsers". Always a good night out on the way to somewhere. Only time Pope was a destination for me was as described previously. Now, after all those years of flying my hammock, loadies are alarming me with "bending moments" etc. I have to say, that once the AA was consumed in the climb, the transit to the ACC was usually noisy, but somnambulant. It's a pity you aircrew missed out on some of the "all night" mending the aircraft stints though. But then, we all had to earn our corn occasionally. But only occasionally. Did I tell you about my only ever visit to California ? A sidewinder of a route with a sting in the tail ?
