Yes, one would be amazed at the glues and Velcro available.
But, there is even more to the story.
Ya know...
I often PARROTED that "no old bold.....", in my youth.
So now that I ain't exactly young no mo', what/who am I?
What is OLD?
What is BOLD?
Who is doing the judging?
To put this thing to rest, I assure you, THERE ARE OLD BOLD PILOTS.
***** [There are no old bold, STUPID pilots.] *****
Sometimes it is only BOLDNESS that saves an aviators life.
It is for the young or foolish or inexperienced to tout stupid jingles.
So, the legend continues on and on and on, unabated.
As a youth, I really didn't see myself as being alive to see Y2K.
Now, I see myself as "hanging it up at 70 or so with nearly 6 decades of
flight under my belt. That should be enough for any man or woman....
until I really am 70.
P.S. Since the cover over the cowl opening is being PUSHED quite
vigorously against the cowl by the airstream, the velcro is only
needed to keep the cover from dripping down and off AFTER the
100+ mph wind stops.
