Default Re: Tucson Shootout, now with added Flavor!

Well I don't feel bad for 2 reasons. If a guy can't land a high performance tail dragger downwind then he needs to find new line of work. Also, I kind of look at it as doing him a favor, he won't have to fly a Cap any more.

I too am kidding of course.

So...not allowing go arounds in my plane....I FIRED HIM! He was bummed....he just got a new place for he and his wife and 5 kids... all under 5 years old. He's a little in debt, but he broke the rules. He begged me not to, but I let him go anyway. So DAN....well done! Thanks for the heads up on the bad landing! Dell and the wife and 5 ...wait...I think it's 6 kids now will be fine. Too bad I heard about this before he caught his flight home... I cancelled his ticket too. He's on his own to get home now. Think his wife is sick as well and he has her medicine.... but he'll be home in a week or so if he's lucky with a ride east. She can wait...
Again...thanks for keeping me posted about the progrss of my CAP.

I'm off to bed now to sleep like a baby!
