I was issued a Citation...

[TangoWhiskey]

...and was to sit in it while my picture was taken.

Thanks for the inside and outside tour of the beautiful bird you're lucky enough to get to fly, Dr. Dave. It was great seeing you and and meeting Johnny for lunch today.

Well, Dave Taylor gets to fly it... he has the key on his ring... we'll just call it "his".

 

[Kelvin]

Very nice...

I hope your exit from the plane was more graceful than Chis Uhl's

I think everybody should bring at least one of their boss' jets to Gaston's for rides

If Greg B can get one of his boss' jets into Gastons, hell, I'll come.

I thought Chris Uhl's exit was part of his Circus training so he can change careers if the aerospace industry folds?

Just for clarification,
"I" am not in that category, as I cannot even afford to get my own $&# airplane fixed!
..and the trip was not a 00$ hamburger. As a flunky, you get a few moments with friends at the local sandwich shop,...occasionally. (Im not complaining...this is simply the sitch.)

PS the Gastons' ride fantasy I had....lessee 1500lbs/hr for rides around Bull Shoals at 5$ per gallon even if I got permission (chances of that exceed 0% in the negative direction) I could not afford the gas!

I sure do. But watching it land at Gastons would be worth the price of admission

Wonder if you can still go to Alaska and see AS land 73s on dirt strips.

(I'm at 195,000 qualifying miles for the year and counting).

Yup, you have me beat. I may have a 60k BIS month, RIC-DFW-CDG-LHR-FRA-DFW-RIC-ORD-NRT-DEL-HKG-MNL-SYD-EZE-GRU-DFW-RIC-DFW-MAD-BCN-MAD-DFW-RIC-DFW-MTY-DFW-BOS; but the MTY turn may get pushed up.
