@dmbkparker@CyborgPeds who’s wife left him during his cancer treatment, or Mr Clean, my best friend in the squadron, whose pancreatic cancer decimated us. We remember and miss them, but then we forget for a while and miss them again.
@dmbkparker@CyborgPeds I dont do it as often as I should, but every now and again I think of Joey, who died in a mid-air, Mike, who took his whole crew down with target fixation, Steve, who had a bad cat launch. And I remember, that’s no more or less than Mr Clean,?pancreatic cancer, or Kenny, 1/2
@MCCCANM Since it’s rare guys tend to treat it as an emergency instead of a controlled maneuver. Especially if it’s a big surprise down low. That’s why that Southwest one in Chicago 2 years ago was so praised for the cool airmanship.
@jbransonx O2 masks are something you should get used to in the sim. Guys pulling them out during preflight has led to a number of diversions. It’s way too easy to start a slow O2 leak while re-stowing.
