For a quick sedond that looked like OLS.

I had to dodge a dust devil once out of HND. Damn thing literally came out nowhere. A few years ago Boulder City had one flip a Tomahawk.

I've been working on some online training videos. One on my hit list is "how to secure an airplane". Evidently from all the airplanes I find sitting on ramps without chocks, without tie-downs, without gust locks, or tied down with half deteriorated 50-pound test clothesline... it's an area that few instructors cover.

It came up fast during a preflight. Student was in plane preflighting. CFI had all the chains undone but one side.

Wow. I've seen some pretty good sized dust devils rolling across the wheat fields of Washington from the air and have wondered how intense the winds get inside them, some of the bigger ones look like they could be pretty violent.

Don't shake my belief in flight school skeezyness - please tell me they told the student he was responsible for the damages...

No idea, this was in Winnemucca, NV and I think they were from Indiana or Michigan, do they even have dust devils back east?

Which I can remember my CFI teaching me about how dangerous it can be with dust devils.
Just glad it was in the ground and not in the air.

You don't fly AMF 106 do you?

Never heard of it. What is it?

I have no idea. Heard it on Friday over eastern NV in the flight levels.

Maybe a pax charter?

Probably me. I make up AMF call signs to relive the glory days.

I hear Amflight on the east coast every once in a while and always have the urge to key up the mic and ask them if they're lost.

Must be one of your trainees.

They've got quite a few runs east of the Mississippi now... in addition to the CVG stuff. Before I left there were 4 or 5 runs based in NY, a few in MI, FL, SC, AL, KY.

If you ever hear/heard a training flight "8008(BOOB) or 8069", that be me! I'm so classy and professional like that.

Just a few months ago while flying LIDAR, I had to 86 a line because of a 2000ft AGL devil out near 3O1. Sucker looked more like a clear air tornado than a DD.
