  What a crying shame, Pat.  Sorry to  hear it. >>

  

 Hi Lar,

 thanks for your sympathy. You may be in the air  before me now.

  

 Told my sad story to an ex commercial pilot last  night who responded with this one.

  

 In the days when automatics were beginning to be  introduced into commercial cockpits this particular airline included in  the cockpit start up drill full movement of the throttles and check that  the automatics `followed through`.

  

 The pilot of a big Boeing suddenly remembered  that he had not done this drill and, forgetting that they had just fired up the  engines, went to full throttle. and lifted the entire roof off the hangar. The  roof settled back on to the walls but the whole thing had to be dismantled and  rebuilt.

  

 That made me feel better. But not  much.

  

 Cheers

  

 Pat
