>From the Air Charter Guide, The Complete Guide to Business and Personal Aircraft Charter, (and soon to be incorporated into the other R:BASE flight management database products!) there is a story about Brooklyn Dodgers' outfielder, Len Koenecke, who in 1935 was ejected from an American Airlines plane for being rambunctious, so he chartered an aircraft to get to Detroit for a game. He sat quietly in the backseat until airborne. At that point, he asked to sit in the cockpit with the pilot and co-pilot. Soon after, he got a little unruly and, when the co-pilot asked him to settle down, according to an article later in the New York times, "the real battle began." As the two rolled around the small cockpit, it was all the pilot could do to keep the aircraft straight and level, and after a 15-minute scuffle, he began to lose his orientation. He later told police that he decided "it was either a case of the three of us crashing or doing something to Koenecke." Grabbing the nearest blunt object, a fire extinguisher, he delivered a blow to Koenecke's head, incapacitating him.
So, Karen, I'd say it's your call ... drink up if you'd like but be prepared to pay the price :) Sami ____________________________ Sami Aaron Software Management Specialists 913-915-1971 [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 9:37 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Transportation to October conference -takeAmtrak! That rule does NOT apply to passengers, right??? Karen Karen, Great to hear about the tavern! However it would be highly inappropriate to drink and fly (remember the 2 Southwest pilots that were dismissed for imbibing). The rule of thumb is "8 hours bottle to throttle". Jan
