I was just joshing with the guy...I guess you can use the word luck in a general sense when discussing air tragedies.WMUchickenhawk said:I heard they plowed through a patch of 4 leaf clovers. And then hit a mirror factory.
I lost more than 10 quarts of oil out of PT-6 during an hour and a half flight in a single engine turbine once. I didn't find out about it until after I landed and I noticed everybody giving me the 1,000 yard stare when I pulled up to park. Unbeknownst to me, a scavenge line developed a leak at a pinched o-ring. I guess if the wx hadn't came up to 100 and half just before I got there, it would have been my bad luck to have seen the idiot light come on in the hold.
