Beechcraft Model 18

Yeah.

We start off with the small aircraft, uh, in the morning, and then at the, uh, throughout the day, the aircraft slowly get bigger and bigger and bigger till we end up with Caravans, Antonov-2s, uh, Albatross and the Beech 18 for our flying circuits.

And then the s- same thing with the helicopters.

We're starting off with the Bell 206s, then we go to the 47, we go...

That's- you know, Jim, you mention that, and I've heard other people say that.

Uh, my buddy Matt Younkin had a problem with his Twin Beech, and he said the same thing, "This airplane belongs to the insurance company.

Save your hide, not the machine."

Yeah.

Better to, [chuckles] better to die than sound bad on the radios.

Just moments after the Cessna's inquiry, a Twin Beech piped up on frequency in a rather superior tone, asking for his ground speed.

"I have you at 125 knots of ground speed." Boy, I thought the Beechcraft must really think he's dazzling his [laughs] Cessna brethren.

Then out of the blue, a Navy F-18 pilot out of NAS Leemore came up on frequency.
