And she is in the habit of taking sleeping pills and wearing earplugs? And hanging out with Cessna pilots?

If they'd been flying a Husky, they'd be out cold.

I wonder if that tracking collar works in his plane. At least he can cancel his SPOT subscription.

It's not just Hamilton, that's about par for the whole Bitterroot. Looks like he's a flight instructor, you'd think he would know by now to duck under the trailing edge!!

Yes, Ravioli County is it's own special sort of cultural petri dish. The local papers read like the Onion- and that's when they are just reporting the facts.

It's a great place to base out of on my trips up there, though. Good friends. Great FBO. Good gas prices. Nice cafe on field- better than the one in town. Friendly staff. 20 mins from Shearer or Fish Lake if you want to wet a line in the afternoon. I did once have 36 gallons disappear between when I sticked the tanks at 10PM and when I arrived for departure at 6am, though. I mean I was left trying to figure out how both bladders were practically *dry*- whoever did it was a pro. I leave my tanks dry there now. I just wish it hadn't been $5.50/gal gas. I'm no moneybags- quite a bit of net pay just went *poof* faster than bad news at an annual.

But the folks at the flight school do a great business there. I'm sure they'll be fine after all of this.
