Regarding Your Christmas Cards. . .

[MikeD]

80/87 Octane. All the <120 knot aircraft ran it. When it dried it coagulated, kinda like blood. Little did we know it sealed small leaks in the fuel tanks/bladders. When 80/87 was no longer available, the shops were full of aircraft leaking fuel.

I can still remember avgas 91/98 Brown fuel, 100/130 green fuel, abd 115/145 purple fuel.

Just as a PSA, there is a regional airline that references pilots having a beeper in the current union contract.

People in their 50s were probably young when that one was written.

It was so much easier to disappear when a pager was someones best option to to get a hold of you. Pay phones were still prevelant but if you didn't have a quarter they didn't seem to work very well...

I was in the desert on a dirt bike!

It’s amazing how quickly these threads derail into completely unrelated topics.

Your idea is a very nice gesture though!
