And then I look out onto the wing (because the emergency door is over the wing), and I notice a piece of duct tape. I figure, surely someone just put that there to freak people out, then I realized several bolts were missing on the wing
It was a good flight, but you want small, you shold have beeen around when Davis Airlines served College Station. Six seat piston twins. I was getting my ticket once when the ticket agent said, "....okay, the pilot on that flight is MISTER Davis...."Great_I_Am said:
Flight from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando on Silver Airways, basically a crop duster where they handed out room temperature bottled water.

Yeah, I think that's a terribly botched sentence, because in 1935, he would have been 15. I think what they meant to say is that he soloed at age 15, in 1935.agdaddy04 said:
Graduated high school at 13 and college at 17. Wow.
What they meant to say was.Quote:
Davis started flying in 1935 and soloed in a Taylor E-2 Cub at age 15 on March 3, 1940, two years after his high school graduation. He then enrolled in college at Texas A&M, class of 1942, and joined the university's Civilian Pilot Training Program in 1940.
