I don't think I ever passed up on a Texaco with give, ever in my career.... unless I could trap first of course.

FIFY...
Pfantum Pflyers became fuel addicts in the RAG. Career- long, tankers, fuel-pit operators & shipboard 'grapes' were their dealers.
It was a permanent disease, worse yet...always was linked to the smoking problem! (note Cat's avatar above).

Post 'em if ya got 'em! Nature is amazing. I know there was an awful lot of hardship that went along with those but I think reminders are a good thing. Makes sure people don't forget.

A couple thing about this photo bother me.
1. Why is the boom operator wearing a mask & helmet?
2. Why is he wearing his mask the wrong way? It looks 2 sizes too small and his chin is sticking out....

Couldn't understand the headgear either - but if they were going for the cool photo op then they forgot to work a reflective belt into the pic.
Wow... I take it that's not Venice.

No, and what you don't see is the SMELL.
Three days after on NOLA was a horrid stench I will never forget.

It LOOKS like it smells bad...
Kow's post-Katrina pictures remind me of how fortunate we are, under normal circumstances, in the big scheme of things.
Obtusely relevant story- while doing some pre-taxi checklist or other one ridiculously hot day, I stopped my student to draw his attention to the fact that our lineman was getting a drink of fresh, clean water. I told him that I wanted him to understand that simple things like clean drinking water are actually a huge deal in some places in the world, and that we should always appreciate what we have in our country.
Of course, the kid nodded, went back to setting up his avionics or whatever, and probably thought I'd lost my own mind in the heat (hey, it's all good), but there is a moral to the story in there somewhere...

Looks like the Blues had two down jets that day.
