Good gawd I remember the sound of that thing in their kitchen...

My instructor/mentor used pledge on his 172 and H500. Been using it for quite a while with no issues. No paper towels. Cloth only. We get Plexus at work when we can.

In my experience in the Army as a Senior NCO, if I lied to a Field Grade Officer three times, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be a Senior NCO anymore regardless of my qualifications. Goes to show the quality of the respective service's NCO Corps.

Exactly! She's a Senior NCO. She lied to the Captain three times. The fact she was reduced one grade and is still a Senior NCO boggles the mind.

@MBDiagMan, you're my hero. Much respect. When I joined the National Guard in the early 90's we were transitioning to Chinooks from borrowed Huey's. I was lucky to fly in both. Also I was never shot at in Huey's. My future Chinook career was quite a bit different. The Huey will always hold a...

@MBDiagMan Thanks! First helicopter I ever flew in was an H500C, owned by my flight instructor who used it for aerial application. I see Little Birds daily at work, but they're not as sexy as the original A model Loach. That's one of my bucket list aircraft. I actually got to crew a Huey once...

I need more Loach pics!

When you are operating a helicopter around people who have never been around them, having a second set of experienced eyes and hands makes a difference keeping people away from the dangerous spinning things. Youtube celebrity Cleetus McFarland had his wife riding shotgun in his Hughes 500...

That P-3 has a storied career if its the same airframe I think it is. https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hurricane_blog/25th-anniversary-of-a-hairy-hop-into-hurricane-hugo/ The radio operator on that flight was family, and he gave us a tour of this airplane when we visited Miami back in the day. P-3's...

Unfortunately @baboss and I missed it. :( Hopefully next year.

@baboss and I are here. N40 row 517. Come say hi. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

You might be able to find them in the FAA file. If you need them ASAP, I recommend Aerospace Reports. They can get the FAA file usually in a day or so. Otherwise, you can send for the FAA CD.

That name sounds familiar, but I didn't get to REGT until early '02. That is a sad story for sure. The things some families endure.

Yeah, Dan had that "long-tab" swagger. As a young BMQ he liked to hang with the backender's when he could, as I think that was his safe space away from the flight leads.

Judy, I read Low Level Hell in high school, and it's one of my favorite books. It was one of the reasons I went into Army Aviation. Your late husband was a hero, and a national treasure. Thank you for sharing.

My Brother, Hershel "Dan" McCants was in my Company. My crew and I recovered him and others back to Kandahar after the accident (I was chalk one in the accident flight). I was fortunate to attend his funeral at Arlington. Small world. Blue skies, and tailwinds John, Brandon, Dan, Adam, Ryan...

The M240 had a three position gas plug which could be taken out and rotated to change the rate of fire. We kept ours set to the middle setting IIRC. It is a great gun. Much improved over the M60. @Sac Arrow, I hope you washed your hands after using that Asbestos glove to change barrels!

That's Range 29 at Campbell. I wonder how many hundreds of thousands if not millions of rounds I have shot there! The mini's shoot 3k per minute, and the brass and links are dumped overboard through the dump tubes. Back in the day the earlier feeder/de-linker assembly would spit the brass out...

I’m not a Bonanza owner, I just didn’t like seeing someone in the industry spilling that type of thing to the uneducated media so they can sensationalize it.

If you have to ask...
