A living legend.

Plus he is Clive Cussler

And I've seen one of Clive's cars on I-70 in Denver...at least I think it was Clive's.
 
OMG that is hilarious!!! I've forgotten how much BS flowed back in the Henning Days... If it were really his, that was a dam pretty 310, though...
The news and all lined up to make the gear-up a real thing.
 
I've heard Henning doesn't often drink beer, but when he does, it's Dos Equis.
 
Great thread.

IIRC, he also "invented" some sort civilian power plant using decommissioned Nuclear Sub Reactors.

Cheers

I imagine there was a modicum of truth to several of the items I listed, but quite possibly grossly exaggerated. Sometimes he got called out on stuff. One item I particularly remember is the fire in New Orleans. There was a fellow on the Purple Board that was in a position to know about such things and he called Henning out on it. Saying he did not know of any fires at that location that he described. Henning had no response. In fact, he disappeared off the Purple Board for a while after that.

All that being said, I actually liked the guy.
 
just clicked on above link re slips omg that guy had like 40k posts no way he could have done a lot of the things he said he did. would not have of had the time. I do know of a guy who fits the profile somewhat. and I would guess he is a long time member of poa with a very low post count. some people after 60 or 70 years of living can have a amazingly large and diverse list of things done and a large percentage of the stories are true. that said I don't think that type of personality would be on the computer that much ,as I stated above
 
maby this henning guy will be in the new/old tom cruse movie about barry seal to be released soon!
 
Henning was great entertainment, and I'm not entirely sure that wasn't his intent (though I did not know him personally).

Apparently he rubbed some folks the wrong way who took him too seriously, and I believe he was banned from PoA.

I think we all have stories that some other people would not believe. I know I have a few entertaining ones or at least I think they are. Henning on the other hand, had too damn many. Some were probably true and others probably had at least an inkling of truth but there is no way I am believing all of them. Either way, he could spin a yarn.
 
Last time I talked to Henning he was in the far east moving a sailboat back to the states. I asked about crewing for him during the sailboat migration from the northeast to Florida and back each year but got no response.
