BobWoods Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I'm glad we had navs onboard, more than once a GCI site would get busy and forget about us trashhaulers. If it wasn't for the nav we would have hit the mountians and we would all be dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nav on my crew (Jim Walcher) would set an alarm clock for our ETA to make sure someone was awake at a critical time. Poor "george" never gets a nap.

Of course those pilots didn't have a navigator to keep them in line. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
