I think that IO 540 lost his keys while he was inspecting his prop, to be certain that he would never have to worry about having a very very lucky escape, should he need to apply full power while on an bolter after his try at landing on an aircraft carrier. Later, IO will get Guppy's advice on how you enter a Socata in an air race in Edinburgh controlled airspace, while making nice with the Scot air traffic controllers.

If IO doesn't find his keys, and listen to Guppy's advice, Mary will try to talk him into getting back into gliding. In a glider, he won't have to worry about keys, prop overspeeds, short aircraft carrier decks, or putting gas into a PA46, 310P or 350P. An the circle goes 'round....

I'm confident that IO is on another amazing cross country, to be envied by those of us on the left side of the Atlantic....

Thank God you didn't mention the N-reg. I may have done earlier, but I think I got away with it...

Thread Hijacking

I get really pissed off with people who barge into a thread with irrelevant cack.

IO540, what's your medical status or where you have been got to do with anything?

No wonder some of the more experienced ppruners are leaving when folk who should know better keep making the thread drift off in odd directions.

With you distracting us with tales of medicals and gunfire, how are we supposed to have a serious debate about......er......well.....whatever it was that this thread was about?

I hope you are not thinking of locking this thread only I can do that.

I've got one here. 20p, or £2.50 with an 8130-3, or £35 with an EASA-1 form.

Not only is IO540 back, but his thread about posters leaving the forum has actually stimulated some previously regular (not in the Biblical sense) posters to return, including wsmempson with his superb wit which cuts through the BS "like an axe to the frozen sea"!

IO540 is leaving Pprune, possibly.

I read this somewhere recently, but I can't recall where. So I had a look through the stickies and all the threads on the forum but there's no trace.


Can anyone confirm this is actually a rumour or did I dream this?

I am discounting the other, scary, possibilty, that it is a fact, since I can't really imagine a fact being posted on here.

ohhhhh ok then....


There is a search facility here on the forum.

If you want to know if you should log IMC instruction as PUT or P1S or f you're curious about IO540 thinking of leaving this forum to set up a commercially viable blog to which Bose-X will be honorary member please use said facility...

Only intelligent questions which have not been asked before will be answered by us, gods of PPRUNE's sky

Still stuck!

I found a search facility on this site, I wish someone had told me about that.

Trouble is, I don't know what IO540's username is so I can't search for him.
