Bob T,

I know just what you are talking about. I was just testing your memory. Alligator 851 was my responsibility and so were the lives of everyone on it. No way was it going to be my coffin if I could help it. There was no room for error due to screw ups. When my bird was in the hanger for maintenance I was there with it watching and checking the work. Not that I diden't trust the guys in the Hanger you just coulden't have too many eyes. I only remember once asking to have a maintenance guy removed from my ship and it was done without question.

You ran a tight ship Bob, and that is part of reason I am here to talk about it.

Tom Gator 851.
