..Someone said the show is over now - Crap! We could have made some great TV together, me and Ariel. World's greatest TV show product tie-in in aviation history! She reaches for the flap handle and disappears behind the 180 panel, and the instructor starts screaming "hey where'd you go Ariel... who's flying the plane?!?" And then the voice-over announcer saying "The Twetos have placed an emergency call to an inventor from Hollywood, and brought him in to modify the airplane so Ariel can see the runway..." And then I'd step out of a limo in the snow wearing an Armani suit with two blondes on my arms. Ahhh it would have been great TV ... even you hard-asses on BCP would have loved it!

Interesting to hear him talk about some of the techniques they use to deal with the cold weather. There was an amusing bit about blocking the oil cooler inlet with duct tape, which many of us use, but I think it threw Bruce Landsberg. Was anyone else on the webinar?

How about if an inventor from Hollywood made an emergency call to Aerial Tweeto and got her to pose in a demo picture using the EZ Flap handle? It would make a great full size poster to hang over your booth at shows and not a bad new avatar either.

Shooting of the next season would commence this summer if it gets picked up again. It should, it's the second most popular show on Discovery. (Second to the ridiculous gold mining moron show.)

The gold mining show is like a train wreck, you dont want to watch it, but you just have to so you can see what the jack asses do next.

I too had to remember my first solo as Ariel was doing hers. I never get tired of seeing the faces of people as they shut down and climb out after a first solo!
