Bacon on the grill this morning.....

Unusually warm weather here in central Texas. 0630 temp 65f/17c we cooked and ate breakfast outside this morning!

FLYBOY; maybe you and I can have a donut and a cup of coffee someday.

I'm sure there has. I know of an accident in Hawthorne, CA with a Metroliner that ran off the side of the runway and the prop strike that severely injured a pax when prop parts entered the cabin. This is the procedure for the Metroliner;

Looks like the crew (and the pax)did a great job during the evacuation with only two minor injuries!

It took me four days to notice the bra......
