Installment #1, a heartwarming story...

http://www.news-miner.com/Stories/0,1413,113~7244~1635084,00.html

"Two years ago, he was hospitalized after a Two Rivers man discovered Logan was having an affair with his wife."...

Boy, this guy just had all the fun!...

I wonder why they had to specify the exact aircraft type? They didn't specify the kind of pot he was transporting or what kind of underwear he was wearing. Come on, fairness and accuracy? Just a half-awake thought, sorry.

Okay...lets see if I got this straight.

Logan was caught doing Cox, Cox found out and tried to run into Logan, unsuccessful, Cox attempted to penetrate Logan with a shot but misfired, again unsuccessful, Cox is now serving time?possibly with fellow Coxs?.

Meanwhile, Barrow was damp, but Wall says that making them wetter with alcohol is misconduct, all the while, the whole Cox thing was pushed aside.

Now about the dope?well that?s just simple economics, dope is worth more then a damp Barrow or Cox.

My question?What?s going to happen when Logan is introduced to Cox in jail?:o

Cavy,

As Roc Machado would say "Bad Thing!!!!"

Course, it probably couldn't happen to nicer fellers.

What does Barrow being damp have to do with anything? Does this mean anything in Alaska?

Actually, Gunny, a village being damp can mean several things. It generally means, though, that you can possess alchohol there, but you can't sell it there. In other words, you can import it only for personal use.

There are dry villages, where possession or importation of liquor is prohibited, there are damp villages where sale or importation for sale is illegal, and there are wet villages, where Katy bars the doors.

He was allegedly importing it for sale. Bootlegging is a serious problem in Alaska. They'll have a better chance of convicting him on that one, and the "sale of alcohol without a state liquor license than on the dope dealing, though it sounds like they got him red handed on the dope too.

Since he apparently had dope in the plane going to Barrow, that subjects the plane to seizure under federal drug law.

See now I thought it was the simple life in Alaska, this damp, wet, dry drinking business could cause a guy to become a T-totaller...

Either way you slice it there should be a Super Cub and a Ford truck up for Federal Auction in about 2 years time, based on how long court cases drag out. I doubt very much he will be getting either vehicle back, if the presented facts are proven in court.

09-18-2003, 07:50 PM

Pretty wacky.

Gosh, reminds me of the time I had brief relationship with the insane and estranged wife of the local philandering policeman...

Talk about living dangerously...and that woman hated airplanes. She sat in my Cub once and had an episode of clinical hypomania. Really.

Ended that relationship in a hurry. Ahhh, youth.

On the other hand, maybe the booze and dope paid for the airplane and he really lost nothing... one wonders...

If he's convicted, won't they seize his ill-gotten assets also? Then he's lost his plane, his truck, his job, and the money.

I wonder why they had to specify the exact aircraft type?
Why not? The exact truck type was specified. I don't know why the media needs to add those details, but they always do. Remember O.J.'s infamous chase in a Bronco? Or JFK Jr's last flight in a Piper Saratoga? It's never the fault of the vehicle, though, just the person driving/piloting it.

Heard on the radio he got to keep his cub. Must be a "rest of the story" there somewhere. Maybe a little feud between coyote hunters???

From the "Don't try this at home" file. An unidentified air show pilot was uninjured when the Piper Cub he was trying to take off from the roof of a moving 1961 Pontiac Catalina fell off the car and slid along the runway before an air show crowd at McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport Oct. 4. The pilot had managed to land on the car but the tailwheel caught on part of a support structure when he tried to lift off.

Digital cameras in a Cub?!? That would really spoil the airhorn and toilet paper routine. Not to mention the darn waterballoon offloads.

Around here we simply say NFW.

Government. Haven't they got anything better to do?

Yesterday I gave rides to 10 kids that were here in SD for Thanksgiving weekend. I operated off a hay meadow on the place they were all staying.......basically took the same flight path in and out with a short tour of our lake area. Got a call from the sheriff today. Seems there was a complaint because I was "flying too low over somebody's house". I was never closer than 1/4 mile from this guys place but tonight I am gonna call and smooth the waters. It's gettin' too crowded..............any room up north boys??

Hey Dave:

You've been out of the spraying business too long. Any day without a complaint from someone is like a day without sunshine for me. Makes me feel kinda unloved or something. :cry:

This is a stretch from "Cubs in the news",, but can you believe that you can see a Super Cub "high speed" formation, low-level fly by on the Sara's Secrets program, aired on the Food Network Channel? (Assuming it doesn't wind up on the cutting room floor) Thursday, Dec 4 @ 8 PM CST, and at midnight. Also Mon, Dec 8 @ 9AM, Sun, Dec 14 @ 9AM, and Christmas morning @ 9 CST. Seems like an odd venue for Lee's and my TV Cubbing debut, but I have to grab the exposure where I can. Was a little reluctant to post this potential video :anon :anon evidence of FAR violations, but am counting on all of you Feds out there to be watching the Cartoon Network. :anon

12-02-2003, 10:57 AM

Ron, "the food network" is certainly more appropo for cubs than "speedvision"... :lol:

Can't wait to see it, somebody had to tape it for me as I am not allowed to have cable tv.

Because you spent all your money on the new Cub?...

Excuse me, I've gotta go, there's a new cartoon starting...

There is concern at my house that with so many channels I might become over stimulated.

Now if there was a "supercub" channel....

Gee, what's wrong with verbage?

In general aviation, Storm said passengers need to communicate, be respectful of Alaska's dicey and intense weather, and not pressure pilots. Hunters, for example, need to accept that it's O.K. to delay a flight, or leave gear or moose meat behind to avoid overloading the plane.

Hunters?

SnowMan

02-10-2004, 09:46 AM

Hmmm. Every time I hear some government official talking about reaching this or that safety goal (especially aviation) I wonder what I'm going to have to give up. I remember that argument was used to close several of the strips in the Kenai foot hills back in the late 60's, early 70's. Seems that there were a few accidents so some of the landing areas were "closed for safety reasons". (Anybody else remember hunting out of the upper or lower Funny River strips?) I can see it now: closing the areas with the highest accident rates because it's for our own good...and improves the stats. :roll: Oh, is this a rant?
