Yep, hotter than hell out there, but worth every sweat bead! The only bad thing this weekend was we had a problem with the Hellcat. As Mark was taxiing the Hellcat, he went to put on the brakes, the pedal went all the way to the floor and it turned toward the ditch between the taxiways. He shut it down right away, the right thing to do. Disappointing, but the airplane and pilot are safe, which is the most important part. Airplane no start, problem. Airplane no stop, BIG problem!
Here are a couple of funny quotes heard over the weekend:
"The only time you have too much fuel is when you are on fire"
"If you are flying a two engine airplane and one quits, you will have just enough power to get to the scene of the crash"
