Your post about flying to Cuba was good, but your post on the break through program sealed the deal

The world is hungry for a company that uses the phrase "tough titty" in the mission statement.

And now after about five hours of trying, ( and my wife giving me some dual) here is a most B.A. single engine prop plane.
t-cart. I think you need more dual. Nowhere ready to solo!

OK, based upon Polars excellent post, he is now in charge of program development. Ctab and T-cart are in charge of aircraft procurment. MJG is in charge of training. As for me...well, I will be in charge of interviewing and hiring Stewardesses. And, Wegougeemandhow will have Stewardesses, or perhaps even the earlier variant "Air hostess". We will have strict weight/height/looks requirements and I will want them to sex it up in a way...but in a classy way. Some of the money we make from the PFJ enterprise can go toward paying these rally hot women very well. Also, I will be in charge of route structure. For this, I will need to have an aircraft to fly proving runs...probably with one of our new hire Air Hostesses accompanying me. A Goose would be an excellent route proving aircraft:

Exellent! :nana2:
If he can teach Dale how to fly the P-3...
Seriously?!? You are putting a couple of "redneck ag pilots" in charge of aircraft procurement?

We could use a Goose as a corporate junket/ "Air Hostess"
recruiting tool. A&Ps from the training program could be stationed at all the vacation destinations we plan to serve. And since being on vacation is part of the job, I'm sure we wouldn't have a problem finding people to pay the cut rate price of $2000/week to live in such a place and enjoy a hobby/love like maintaining Vintage Flying Machines in pristine condition.
All we need is for T-cart to "dust" Everett with some "magical powder" putting them all asleep. I'll "acquire" a 747 from ROW to land under the guise of "service" at PAE, and we can load the tooling and blueprints while the "magic powder" is in effect.
We the first wing will be complete by December.
By the time we're out of the recession, we should have the 314 flying and on OPSPECS
Thanks Wes!Excellent! Another computer guru in the making!
Glad to see it finally worked.
That was worth the wait! Certainly a bad assed ride.

I hope this works.
I think we have a winner, any civilian airplane with a positive thrust to weight ratio is oficially B.A.

I saw Wayne Handley (?) fly a routine in the "Turbine Raven". Looked like an extra, but had a Walther hung on the front.
I was watching it do the maneuvers one would expect a crazy high torque/high HP motor strapped to a plastic akro bird to do.
Then at the end of the routine the announcer goes "He's put it in Reverse in flight. Look at that descent!!" And it was a descent to landing.
All I could think was "man, it's not going to come out of reverse" (thinking of the little tiny piece of metal that the PT-6s [I know it's not the same, but whatev] use to put it into BETA breaking and it getting stuck"
Then it happened and hurt him badly.
I was over turboprop akro then.....

There are some video's of his crash on the web. Maybe Youtube? Lucky he didn't die in that thing.I saw Wayne Handley (?) fly a routine in the "Turbine Raven". Looked like an extra, but had a Walther hung on the front.
