You are right about the overheads, also the ones in the plane were the "corps". Anyways, Ericka already booked the hotel, and i have a Tamjets F-16 I am picking up with a P-70 on Monday from Tam! See you there bro!

Hey Nick,
With all that cargo onboard would the C-5 stay flying if you guys lost a motor or even two?? Is that figured into the load capacity ?? Also does the C-5 dispense chaff when you go in and out of... "there" ??
V..
PS:I see you have a butt in your hand... do i have to lecture you again about smoking?? arghhh

Vin, the jet would fly just fine, it is all figured out. We would have to "driftdown" to a lower altitude however. Can you believe that all that cargo only weighed 70 some thousand pounds, it was weak!! And yes that was a "butt" and no you dont have to lecture. I flew 14 hours that day alone, one is deserved.
About the chaff, we cant talk about that!
