UVALDE OR BUST!

[cybercop106]

I don't know been thinking of a helo so I can just park it in a field and get out and hunt
The H-60 can only carry 14...... and even then, everyone would be fighting over who gets to man the door guns!
you need an instrument rating to fly the Beechcraft which is a good idea anyway as we were IFR for over half our trip home
Are you disparaging my driving or the weather?!
The twin prop is very fuel efficent and you can feather one back once your at attitude and your cruise speed to even save more fuel. :0)
That's why I like turboprops. Dependable and economical!!!

I'm sorry Dennis; it's still top secret.
We've even placed a guard on that subject:

how long do you think it will be before we get some info??

 

[warsawdaddy]

I said it before but I'll say it again.Being with those other five guys was certainly a lot of fun and I appreciate them putting up with a stick-in-the mud old man like me.And Bobby,I may see you again next month out there as I too have some tickets on those 20 guns they are raffling off.Thanks again Six Pack.

I will have to remember to take a few ashtrays with me.They do have a shortage out there.
