Martha king and sportys have their work cut out

Standard W&B in a PA32 or 206/7 is if the tail doesn't hit the ground when the engine is running it's good.
incorrect, you can be frighteningly out of aft CG in the PA32 and not have it tip over. On the other hand the @$&@ 207 tips over if you look at it funny, I think something like if the nose doesn't come back down with 1500 RPM you are out.

Combination of overgross & frost on the wings brought down some friends many years ago, killing the owner and injuring everyone else. They caught a fence at the airport boundary, carried it a ways and then crashed. I was told that the owner pressured the pilot to fly heavy and fly now, and it didn't work. I've never been in that position, but a pilot has to have the ba**s to say no, even if he's threatened with losing his job.

Nah, you're good bro.
 

Witness the dearth of rich Russkies in the ER. Stone Cold is, well, Stone Cold. I'm maybe just luke-cold, but while I'm polite to a fault*, someone lays hands on me, I will plant knee in groin and kick them while they're down. Homie don't play "Serf you can slap around". Nuh-uh! :)

Not corporate but the mindset of people who don't deal with airplanes regularly amazes me.

Had a customer bring eight pallets to fit in a Metro one time. Of course that won't work, six stuffs it full. So what do they do the next day? Bring four pallets, just twice as tall.

Oh man the loads I see sometimes too. Four freezers, a four wheeler, two pallets of chips, four mattresses, and a pallet of groceries. That usually results in having to fly with the door open. The some pilot will call us on the radio and tell us we left our door open. So thats what the Master Caution light was for!
