OHH Good Grief!
I can't stop thinking about the fact that three healthy, well-conditionend men DROWNED UPSIDE DOWN IN THREE FEET OF WATER.
I am angry about the loss of the lives of these good people.

Mr. Bill------I don't believe that Skeet ever claimed that it WAS a "V-tail" in that accident-
I agree Barry- Skeet never referred to the Musketeer in the accident as a "V" tail. The thread got sidetracked a little in the speculating going on,
as it always does when pilots try to make sense of an accident, and it appears Bill didn't keep up.

As an early participant in this interminable kerfuffle, I reflect on the early days when Wilbur and Orville were my two combative students who
constantly argued over which would solo first. Back then we didn't even foresee the need for accident investigators, only much later when RanDom
cApitalIzation became fashionable, did the field really "takeoff".

Keeping Up !
Yeah, it's tough to do with these "Lesser Genes", but TSMF.
My point WAS that, since the Aircraft wasn't a V-Tail, Skeeter's "Doctor Killer" musing was irrelevant.
On a Positive note , Hopefully Skeet won't have to tolerate it much longer.
A Day to look forward to.

This could be a tad over most of their heads but ol' Skeet does provide amusement for those with a sense of humor. You get it though, because he is
in the same time machine as you.

I will try to bring out some things that might be involved inthis accident!
There was a report that there was three feet of wter over Mud where the Aircraft Hit. This type of sudden Stoppage more than likely caused the
occupants to be rendered unconcioua. Then the intake of Water would drown them.
Also the doors may have been crunched enough not to allow them to Physically get out.
Mr. Bowell Movement; Bring it On!!. There is one thing I learned early in Life, Learned it from a couple of times in an Aircraft. Do not be a Scared
of anything.
I will be 80 in May and am looking forward to another 20.
Tell your MOMMA to give you some more Wheaties next time. Put in a little more Sugar to help your Attitude.

Thanks Mike...
As a reminder, the 2011 Baja Calendar that Carlos was going to produce upon his return from Baja last month is being completed by Marv Sherrill and
profits will go to Carlos's wife and daughter... It is at the printers now, so please send in your order... http://www.bajacalendar.com and let what Carlos started be fulfilled!

Bringing it ON !
Well, I just DID !
AND, it was quite satisfactory.
The Bowel Movement, that is. Firm Consistency and Obama-Shaded.
I "Should" know better than to argue with a Bakersfield Texas Ranger who "worked" his way through the Depression.
As a Child, even.
Before becoming the Chief Investigator for innumerable State Agencies and leading a Life filled with astonishing and (almost) unbelievable variety
wherein more significant events in history have been focused on him than anyone ever before.
I've found it quite amazing over the years how Many people I have met in Baja who have influenced U.S. and World History to extents not seemed
possible, but Skeeter is clearly Head and Shoulders above ALL of them (Combined ?). A true Legend in his own mind, if not others.
WHAT was I thinking ?
Bowel Movement aka "An Burro" (Thanks Barry) signing off for now.
Until the NEXT Bowel Movement.
Maybe Today, maybe not. Those things don't necessarily follow a schedule.
GFYS.

Bill: are you not feeling well? Anything we should know? And why are you looking forward to it? Were you the anonymous buyer? It would be right down your alley.

Aren't We ALL ?
Looking Forward to the day of Rapture Arriving ?
Skeeter is.
Personally, I've got some issues with the Day of Judgment part of it. I "May" have a few problems that need negotiating. I "Hope" there's
Arbitration.
Better to be greeted by a Rapture than a Raptor, Though.
I Think.

Your welcome Mike... and I agree with you other comment as well... I think you and I met Skeet the same day back in 2003 at Keri's first book signing?
I haven't met MrBillM, but anyone who picks a place that has a view of Shell Island can't be all bad!

It was from their trip last month (Carlos on left,
Sean Kelley in the middle). Follow the link under the picture to see more photos from the trip.

Hi Capt. Mike!
That's my Dad wearing your T-Shirt. I bought it for him last year and he wears it all the time! He no longer flys, but once a pilot, always a
pilot!!!
We were down at JuanYJuans for the Baja 1000 along with Carlos, Sean, and Russ - and had such a wonderful time with them! We're so very sad to lose
such quality gentlemen, but at least know for sure they're in a better place.
Our deepest condolences to their loved ones.
