Today is Charles E Taylors birthday.... He was orville and wilburs mechanic. this has led to today, May 24th as National AMT ( aviation maintenance technician ) day. So to all of us who work on aircraft military and civilian ........ Cheers!

He is alive and well and still as ornery as ever.

Hard to belive someone so ornery is gone. I will miss your Wit, humor, stories, and the way you just called it as you saw it! RIP Dan!

Yeah Casey! come to the reunion! we need more maintainers to represent. Lots of fun.......

They look Wonderful Casey. Have you been getting much response from ACS? I'll beat down some doors if need be.

Yeah keep it. Since I primarily visit the site at my "other" home, I cant make a fair judgment on how well its supposed to operate. Every thing on this computer is so slow it took me 15 minutes to type this........

Yes, Lowry, how could I forget that place! I went there for Weapons & Munitions School and somehow ended up at Shepherd in Turbo Prop Acft. Maint.

I would call ending up in acft maint a good thing!

Dont forget Lowry. Thats where I got sworn in.

X5 doing great Casey!

Say it aint so! many great TDY's on that one while in Rhein Main....

Thanks Sam, I'll pass that info on to His sister.

Co pilot James Graff's remains Have been Positively Identified. Part of the crew lost Oct 1966 on 62-1840 (3803)

I don't know about other crew members. This was shared by his sister who was notified last Thursday.

Don't like the gloss but I understand why its painted that way. Props should be black also.....

Skydrol is nasty stuff! I have had it in my eyes, mouth, and lungs. really makes me miss good old 5606. But, it does have a higher flash point and better erosion control capabilities in valves, actuators, etc etc.. Boeing, airbus, and Lockheed all use it. I'm only guessing that 5606 will eventually be phased out. Are the new J models useing 5606?

P.S. wash your paws before you go to the little boys room. especially when handling skydrol!

way to go and congrats Tiny! Hope to share an adult beverage with you sooner than later!

Yep, the pilots job is going to get more dangerous without that dog, er... flight engineer :)

Two women were sitting quietly together, minding their own business.

I sent you an e-mail. likely songs from Joe Sheldon.

Google says its a whiskey glass...... awesome!

Ok Tiny, would it be considered abuse if it was a Bitburger??

I remember the Navy bar. someone dropped a "butt" in a chair and the thing caught fire. wide spread panic ensued until some one dumped a beer on it and dragged it outside. would that be considered alcohol abuse?

You are so right Frauline, aint injustice just grand?

Good job Wil!

California:

The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks his dog.

#1. Governor starts to intervene, reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural.

#2. He calls animal control. Animal control captures coyote and spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500 upon relocating it.

#3. He calls veterinarian. Vet collects dead dog and spends $200 testing it for diseases.

#4. Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting bite wound bandaged.

#5. Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while wildlife services conduct a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is clear of dangerous animals.

#6. Governor spends $50,000 of state funds implementing a "coyote awareness" program for residents of the area.

#7. State legislature spends $2 million investigating how to better handle rabies and how to possibly eradicate the disease.

#10. PETA protests the coyote relocation and files suit against the state.
