  1. I like Traylor and wouldn’t lose any sleep if he were hired following Herman, but I’m not being asked to fork over $25M to buy out our current just a dollop above average coach to take a flyer on JT. I’d probably want to see a more impressive college resume before I wrote a 7 figure check. Or 6 figure if I were a nurse.
  2. It is possible that the other plane was on the wrong frequency, I’ve heard some mighty fine pattern calls on guard, the radio was broken or there was no radio installed. I’ve had more than one crop duster try to end it all in spectacular fashion because he had no radio and landed in the manner most convenient to him.
  3. A previous employer cooked 4 Garret TPE 331’s when some goof filled the alcohol water injection tank with Jet A. Also, don’t care...made afterburning turboprop.
  4. I don’t know a lot about a twin Comanche, but it’s probably not going to fly single engine very far either. And then especially not when launching out of Amarillo at any kind of weight, and worse if it were summer time. The other poster is right. Probably have to accept nearly straight ahead and a bent plane. I was lucky in Pampa that there were fields for miles, a long straight access road running South several miles into town and an abandoned WW2 airstrip south of the city. In other words, it had crossed my mind. Terrible either way.
  5. I used to fly loaded freight PA31’s regularly out of Pampa, and occasionally out of Borger and Amarillo. I was never comforted with the knowledge that it would not fly for very long on one engine at those weights and density altitudes. Same with icy conditions in the winter.
  6. Millionair is there as well I think. All three are next to each other.
  7. Well, there’s that Signature next door that they might pull into as well.
  8. I’m still partial to Enchubben Nation.
  9. How is Kai Money’s kickstep?
  10. I mean, clearly it’s aliens, but what if, instead of leaving some geometric signaling device to alert them of our advancement, it’s really just some abstract art product they’re spamming the galaxy with?
  11. You should see that loss to L’ville again. Bridgewater managed about 1 drive, and a few miracle throws. Offensively I think they didn’t manage much more than 330 yards. It was a win, but not anywhere near the kind where you thought UF was outclassed by UL.
  12. I thought about doing something like that, but if I showed it to someone they’d probably think it was my total time.
  13. Hands off at V1 in most twin turbine operations.
  14. Between some Raisbeck wing lockers and that after cargo area you’d have to be hauling a shitload of industrial strength hair dryers to cube out a 350.
  15. Who’d have thunk that Vance Bedford would come in post Manny and proceed to field consecutive worst ever defenses just two years removed from _iaz accomplishing the same feat?
  16. He is a vengeful fuck. But I don’t know if he’s the kind that’s interested in tearing down something he built. Now, tearing down an uppity asshole who helped topple him from OSU while parlaying his success under Urban into the HC at UT? By taking over said asshole’s program and demonstrating who was swinging the big stick at OSU? Yeah, I can see him doing that.
  17. So...we’re favored...at home...against an unranked team...after a big win...and Tom Herman is still our coach? Most surefire loss in recent program history. Like Mack Brown faces OU pre 05 surefire.
  18. It took three cowless radials to do it, but Ford eventually proved that they could make a Quonset hut fly. There’s a little airport in a semi resort community in the tip of Ohio SE of Detroit where they’re build a tri motor from scratch. Might already be flying.
  19. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.
  20. I’d be curious to know if all the same flight laws and protections were built into it as other Airbus products.
  21. Trevor Lawrence taking his quarantine seriously.
  22. Correct. In between a Herc and a C17 in size and specs if I recall.
  23. Oh I dunno. I think there’s a better than even chance that he’s on the BU sideline dropping kisses on Aranda’s baldpate.
  24. You got it all wrong. If he wins we send him out on a high note with a $20M parting gift.
  25. I’ve never seen that thing actually move. Pretty sure they have some A340’s and maybe a 76 or 330.
