the last 3 months of 2004 and the first 3 months of 2005 i was flying a twin beech in puerto rico.
on feb 17 i was departing culebra and my elevator cable broke. (apparently if you taxi over a pot hole in a be 18, the tail will start bouncing violently and the elevator cable can jump the pulley and start chaffing. i had full forward on the yoke for a short field takeoff and felt the cable brake).
a month later the faa revoked my license, because of 'politics'. i was a little burned out anyway. right now i'm giving tours of a year old sailing ship.
