Chuck:

I think there is a message for you in 5 dead engine landings .......with over 20,000 hours I've yet to make an unintentional dead stick landing......from large jets to J-3's........and everything in between.........

Made many intentional dead stick landings (zero thrust) as an IP and line pilot in the Navy and also as a civilian airline, CFII and check pilot.....

If you were a Democrat I could understand it......?......



Yeah, Doug, I thought I had been fingered...in more ways than one. All of 'em happened in a short period too. Maybe over 4-5 yrs. Stuff for elbow to elbow beer drinkin.
