Heh; the main window of my office, where I'm sitting right now, looks out
at the approach path to Lackland AFB and I watch Texans, Talons, Galaxies
and Starlifters all day, every day. I've seen the Thunderbirds, Air Force One,
and all manner of other military and civilian hardware out my window.
Hmm. I've only had one engine failure in the last 33 years of flight. I was
cranking along at night in normal cruise about 10 miles out from the airport
when a sleeve slid out of a cylinder into the crankshaft, which firmly drove it

Wow Bill that was some kind of day! But it was good to hear that you, and the

The KR that a friend of mine hard bellied in had a Revmaster ingine in it. The
engine had quit from vaporlock we thought, but then restarted just before
impact and running at full throttle. The propeller was sheared off right on
each side of the center, both sides of the prop that is. I checked
judgement in how far you go with the inspection.
