That's the thing or point in me sharing that experience, and of course all the what if's with say a pilot like yourself or the federal agent on board or this or that, which leads to the when does it end sort of thing. I think I forgot, they do have one of those on board, for that reason. I guess ones faith about the good nature of the majority of people come to play, if you let it go further, in the other direction, the terrorists own you in a way, and its exactly what they want as I see it.
The purpose of some of these flights was to go to testing labs as needed, and we would bring key personnel, like our foreman, who would eventually build the real thing, after testing was completed. We would ship a gangbox via common freight carrier, but like all of us here and similar to the topic, each has their own tools or preferences of same. I thought I recalled their small tool bags being checked in as carry on, having the same thoughts, I just can't remember if it was post 9-11 or not, time fades memories, so it had to be checked and put into the belly compartment, for some silly reason I was sure I've seen it as carry on. Each foreman did bring hand tools in a tool bag, that was certain, as to them, they are of high value and must not have trusted the steel gangbox and common freight. It was excellent experience and it sure improved or helped meet the quality and specifications that were required of what we built.
My dad used to fly, earned his license in 2 stints of instruction, one sometime in the 60's, then finished it in the early 80's but I am not sure if he got the IFR rating, he owned a Cessna 172 for 5 years. He aspired to be an air force pilot, but they found out about a fractured skull injury cause by a drunk driver that smashed into him while he was driving sometime after high school in the mid 50's. That was unfortunate, but he still served later on. He was drafted by the Army and ended up in the 7th SFG ABN Civilian Affairs Detachment. I think he really enjoyed flying and with what happened with the Air Force, he still wanted to achieve the objective on his own, which he did. We have somewhere, a photo of the plane at the airport, myself looking on and in the divided frame was the piece of the back of his shirt they cut out and had marked information about his solo flight.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
