Humor may not make the world go around, but it certainly cheers up the process... :)
With clothing, the opposite of NOMEX is polypro (polypropylene cloth and fleece).

Re: Only in Alaska

Oh, if you only knew Vern, you wouldn't be so anxious to go there...... :D

Actually, they do a GREAT job teaching float flying. Vern and I used to tell people we were the only two outfits in the country that actually taught float flying, not just enough to pass the ride.

They do have some gorgeous country there at Moose Piss, no doubt.

Nice vid, but take offs coulda been shorter :lol: 8)
