Ok all I'm back from doing hurricane relief. Later today I'll have a web page up with lots of photos. Between the two crews we had and the multiple maintenance issues we had to deal with we flew over 50 hours hauled over 300 people and over 200,000 pounds of various supplies.


By the way one day in Fort Worth I saw a "Gold" edition GP with the gold tinted torque stars.

Welcome back! Let us know when you get the pics up, I want to see them.

When were you in Ft Worth, what day? There's a Gold Edition I see around here every once in a while, a lady drives it. She looks to be in here 60's.

We flew our missions out of FW. I had the 10th off 13th and 15th. I didn't see the driver the car was pulling out of the Starbucks parking lot on Hulen drive.

Also on the 10th we saw the car show in downtown FW had a couple of beers at the fox and hound then a couple more at the flying saucer.

How much weight? depends on how far you want to go. But on average 35,000 pounds. Typically we run out of space before we get our max weight.

Hey Herc. Glad you had fun and made it home safely. I'm sure your efforts were much appreciated by quite a few people.

I was in Ft Worth on the 10th, I was doing the Laps for Charity thing.
Too bad I didn't know you were there, we could have met up, I would have even taken you for a ride around TMS. laugh

cheap inflight entertainment. You'll notice a little hole about 1/2 inch in diameter you dangle the end of the paper near it and the vacuum of outside air pulls the paper off the roll. It'll empty a roll of TP in about 40 secs.
