  • I was a commercial pilot in my younger days and in this video I tell a couple of old flying stories about emergency landings and Lucky Sand Dollars. I managed the airport in Childress Texas in the late 70's and operated a aircraft repair service, flight school and usually had an airplane or two for sale. I loved flying and flew anywhere between Oaxaca Mexico to Fairbanks Alaska all in search of making a living with my flying,

      Darn It Tom, now our secret is out, although i'm guessing it isn't much of a secret on who is the better driver on the Next Exit Team. Look forward to seeing you two down in Yuma here in a couple of months

      Hi Charles, love telling and hearing old flying stories, I haven't been in a private aircraft since 1979 so my stories all seem to be different every time I tell one but at my age, I guess that is to be expected. We look forward to seeing you two in a week or two in Florence.

    This one was especially great since I'm a former AF Navigator and prior to that a private pilot in Cessna's and Pipers. We're glad that you are having fun with your family!

      Hi John and thanks for your comment. I am a little concerned about some of the stories upsetting some of the more safety conscious aviators and I certainly don't want to do that. I was pretty young and full of testosterone back then and ocassionally made some bad decisions and do not want to encourage any pilots to do something that they may not have the skill set for as the results could be devastating. Many stories are more suited for sitting around the campfire vs RUclips (LOL).

      Hi Rob, I am guessing we would have an enjoyable evening sitting around a campfire and sharing some old stories. I even have one story about a skydiving instructor rushing into my office wanting to get on the Unicom radio to confirm some kind of safety check on one of the skydivers that apparently did not get checked off. All ended well but he was fairly nervous until he got to talk to the folks up in the plane fixing to jump out.

      Yup, would be fun. If you all ever get to Florida give a hollar. Usta fly freight outa Flint in a C310R and C404. Freight business fell off and became a tandem skydiving instructor. Retired after 10,000 jumps while all my parts still moved freely.@@JustPassingThru

I forgot their names again but one of the 2 couples you brought to breakfast with us in Florence last year (with the Hawaiian wife) has a seasonal site here and we have got to visit with them a couple of times this trip.
