OK, OK...
Here is my story about "FLIGHT Fishing!"
I was a flight line mech that prepped planes for final delivery
to the customers that bought them.
We had to do a routine flight check on this new 441 turbo prop,
so I went along to listen to a little rattle the test pilot was
sqwaking about.
For those of you unfamilar with the 441, it is a 12 -15 passenger
biz plane with Garrett 331 turbo's, it is almost over powered,
so it is considered to be kind of a hod rod in it's own way!
Anyway, back to the story!
The test pilot was in the left chair as usual, and I was in the right seat.
As we approached nearby lake Cheney, the pilot asked me if I
had ever gone "flight fishing".
Of course, I said no. He then said, "OK, keep her straight and level!"
Well, I did my best, but as we pushed the nose down,
I about SH*&^T myself.
He said that as the prop tips make little marks in the water,
we might get us a fish!
And folks, believe me or not this is true story...
