What ever you say there, Sparky.

 

[tsky]

I think that you all have some serious issues that need addressing

 

[208Tech]

How many ATR's does Empire have flying for peak?

I heard that you guys get recurrent training for a plane that you have not flown. Any truth to that rumor?

 

[Caravanfixer]

Sparky? I'm not an electrician, well sorta. That ATR is an ugly airplane, looks like they ran short of material when they got to building the empenage to me. Of course, it almost looks decent with that new FX paint Careful what you say to me Mr. Atrcapt, I know you, I got your number. Might have to ask Fok/beer or better yet, rockin rodney to deal with ya!!! BTW, did EA send you guys back out for training when it looked like they might actually get ONE flying? Say hi to the loser mechanics if you're in PDX this peak. I'm really surprised that maint. base didn't fold up after I and the 208Tech left town.

 

[fokkers&beer]

It took me a minute untill I remembered that your avatar was the screen saver upstairs, now it all makes sense. How are things going over there?

 

[tsky]

As much as I dislike France, I think that the ATR looks very cool

Ah-Ha! Two plus two equals four! How's life in paradise? Don't eat too many coconuts, they're a natural laxative!

We should all read the book: UNHEEDED WARNINGS (forgot author, Amazon.com) before we start flying this plane. Better to be informed correctly than relive the mistakes of the past. Everything I've heard about the ATR is it's a great airplane on a nice day but a mobile home in the mist of a tornado in the ice. Some of our FSI ATR instructors are in the book. All I know is a couple of nights ago we had a instant build up of heavy ice and the F handled it like a rock. Long live the F and down with the French; they should stick with making sh!tty wine. "Prepare for Flameout!"

 

[fokkers&beer]

I'm with Bling air on this one, bitchin' avatar by the way. The F is a rock solid airplane. And once you get used to it a nice looking machine. The ATR, its ok at best. To me it looks like the french took their time in making the airplane tube, then at the last second said, OH S**T we forgot to put gear on it. Thats OK well just make a pod and stick it on the bottom of it. Tah Dah we have an ATR42. As for the ice, no ones looking forward to it. The auto pilot, thats a different story.

Long live the F, Short live my hearing.

the "F" is indeed a solid bird-hopefully we don't have any iceing problems with the ATR
