SWEET

I think that car under the right tip tank is still on the property also, being used by the training department.

FedEx is pulling the Cessna 310's out of the desert and converting them to a MD310 by putting a MD11 cockpit in them. This will allow MD11 qualified pilots to fly the MD11, MD10, and then new MD310's. The conversion process will only cost 35 million a copy. What a bargain.

I heard...

I just heard from a friend that has an uncle who's mailman dated the ex-wife of a guy in the training department that is in class right now and he said that Fred struck a killer deal with Cessna to start using the C-310. The picture you saw is top secret protype that no one was supposed to see but I guess got leaked out. Personally this was my favorite airplane to fly back in the day because I loved the cool Bat-Mobile wing tip tanks.

I also hear that we are going to hire 200-300 hundred flight instructors to fly them because the current pilot force is too over qualified and over paid. You heard it first.

Peace Out. D-

Too funny

I guess those tip tanks will come in handy on the trips to Manila, eh?

Better bring a pee jug.
