Yeah, but Mobile II stinks also.

Give me 60 weight oil or 5606 so I can comb what little hair I have left.

Ditto sully,
I can do without 2380 and skydrol. Now that I left the airlines and I am working a FBO, I get to dabble in a little of everything. My FUN time in the next couple of weeks is a home project recovering our rudder off the N3N.

I just have to say: this was one of the funniest things I read this week!

There ought to be a prize for the person who fits the most categories. But who would want to undergo the scrutiny?

And don't forget to whack those of us who do the Quality Control function to make sure the mechanic does his job correctly so the vertically challenged heeero type peoloto can dazzle the dumber than a box of bucking bars Blonde Chicks @ the bar with their John Neversweat tales of darring-do (do).
By the way, I'n NOT going bald, I'm just becoming 3 inches taller than my hair :D
