    DC-4 Down in Fairbanks

    I hate armchair quarterbacking.....but perhaps a wing spar failure at the engine, however not a complete wing seperation? If a DC-4's like a DC-6 you only have so long to put that fire out before the spar fails. Look up Northern Air Cargo's incident near Russian Mission, AK.

    DC-4 Down in Fairbanks

    I don't know of any video but I know that when I flew the DC-6 you had 2 attempts to put out an engine fire, the engine MUST be feathered before deploying the fire extinguishing agent, you had 2 tries......then about 4 minutes untill the spar failed.

    Well you can "not want" in one had and **** in the other and find out what one gets filled first. Your student is screwed.

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    Nothing against toasters (besides the smoke alarm thing) but when gals like this go "Super Viral" or whatever you want to call it; then go do somthing fantastically stupid with an aircraft.......it's a double tap to professional female pilots everywhere. We only make up 5 percent of pro pilots...

    Charged With DUI When I Wasn’t Driving

    I know a guy who drove drunk, parked at a friends home, got out, was in the house and got a DUI because the cop had footage of him driving drunk.

    Drug test history in medical records

    Here in rural Alaska people drink to oblivion........highest I saw flying medevac was .41. I'm not kidding.

    Drug test history in medical records

    When I flew Medevac we used to play "BAC Bingo" with the Med Crew, where we'd guess the BAC of the Patient we were about to pick up pre takeoff based on the "evidence." And I thought Pilots had dark senses of humor.......

    Thinking of buying a Velocity

    I ferried 2 Velocities from Sebastian years ago. It was like a sportscar after driving 172's arround the pattern. Sure was fun.
