My uncle, a WWII B-17 pilot, like to roll empty beer cans down the aisle when transporting civilian passengers.

I learned that one at a management seminar 30 years ago. The problem with this stunt is the many VERY sharp people at all levels who notice and remember everything.

Just maintain and upgrade.

How old is the B-52?

The small block V-8?

I was at Laughlin from 71 to 80. I worked in the control tower. I came from one busy airport, Bien Hoa, Vietnam, to another. In Nam we had 2 runways. At Laughlin, we had 3. I suspect that even today, it is a busy airport.
