RE: Miss Josephine (Part Two of Six)

All those years of experience are really paying off with curie, and the cliff hanger at the end just to get us to want more. The cafe actually reminds me of the Aviator cafe here in town, it's a great sandwich shop with the same vibe, of course it doesn't have the museum in the back.

Thanks. It's been my experience that most aircraft museum and small airport cafes are pretty much the same--great places to have a sandwich and do some hanger flying.

Yep, there is an airport about 4 miles from the cafe, they have a few pilots that tend to hang out a bit more than most. They are typically reliving the glory days, I only think one of them actually saw action in Vietnam I don't the rest have any great stories...

Good hangar stories aren't always the result of combat. In fact, most of them are just fun or harrowing experiences that occur in the normal course of flying. I've never flown in combat, but I've got enough stories to outlast two or three pitchers of beer. ;-)

lol, I would say that you probably do, and they would be rather polished stories. Why did I think you were a pilot? Did you post that somewhere?

Two of the stories I posted early on were flying thrillers. That may have been where you got the idea. One was C'EST LA GUERRE. The other was a WWII story called NIGHT FLIGHT.
