Comment about the aircraft being a “dentist killer.”
Old folklore I picked up in high school in the 70’s when pumping AC gas at a small municipal airport. You see, dentists apparently made good money and they all seemed to buy the V-tail because it was a comfortable solid ride, and given their confidence (arrogance), they would go out and fly the darned thing into bad weather and such and ‘SPLAT’ they went.
That was the folklore. It was a joke, I know that now but when 17-yes old, you’d believe pretty much anything. Just asking if your dad or mom was a dentist and if so they survived the temptations that got a lot of dentists.
Did you know a Gary Bakewell when in Alaska?
“Did you know a Gary Bakewell when in Alaska?”
I was there is 84/85. Heard of him a couple of times in passing comments, and that Cessna, never saw him nor did he land at Galena that I knew of.
