Mt.crewchief Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Yep, it was down for several days. I e-mailed Casey wandering if it was my computer! Of course Casey replied like I knew he would and assured me it wasn't my computer. So Tusker , let's get on with some stuff about the beast!!!!

tusker Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Sir!!...I am 62 years old ......but young in my heart!...............and I like aircrafts so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizzard Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Tusker, you and I are cut from the same cloth. It sure would be great to have one last ride on that pig, wouldn't it????? Just think, maybe thirty years or so in the future, some commemorative outfit will be flyin' one, like the Collings foundation or CAF does, and people will say "man, how did those things fly."""" and we all were a part of it...........just like the guys from WWII and their bombers and such......... load clear Giz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tusker Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 You know!!!....last week at the job, we received a CL-215. You know....those fire fighter aircrafts!!!!...........We had to tow the mother. So I was goin' to be on the brakes!.....I opened the door,.....and I had a good smell of it!|....I said to the rest of the crew members.......That's an aircraft. It smells like an Hercules!!!......Yes Sir!!........Let's get one and fly in the mother!!......easy to say but!!!!with all the rules, the regulations surrounding the aircraft world......could be difficult...........maybe!!!!............what do you mean maybe!!!...........But!!!........the feeling is good!! You know the movie Bridges of Madison County!!..... with Clint and Meryl Streep......................Clint Eastwood said............The old dreams were good dreams............they didn't work out .....but they were good while you had them!!!....... I really like that one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmitch Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 With out trying none of us would have ever flown on one but you right the old dreams are the best, like it was yesterday thats why the reuion was so great it brought it all flooding back. I havent heard anything from to two Bobs about this they must be naping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
