Re: DEA ID plate

Jim, that polished prop if it is a McCauley or Sensenich it is not airworthy. They must be alodined to prevent corrision between the hardware, hub and prop. They are also required to have a painted tip so someone on the ground can see if the engine is running. Tim

I agree with what you and Marty have said 100 percent! As for the two FBI agents, they were great folks and fun to talk to like so many around small airports. I always enjoy the people I meet and so many have had experiences that amaze me. We lost a great pilot here locally not long ago. Emory jennings Wheat who I knew from a young man. He flew EVERYTHING, Breezy! mooney , Lear, Gulfstream, you name it. Originally from here in Maryland he had lived recently in Pell City Alabama. anyone know him from down there? Great pilot, nice person. Please look up (speaking of regulations being broken) Lamb airlines of Manitoba. It went out of business in 1981. A pioneer in Alaska flying, etc. Read how Jack Lamb flew a DC3 back from AFGAHISTAN. Never having flown one before! And how his wife's vacumn cleaner saved it when it fell thu the ice! I mean its better than fiction! Best.....JC.
