OMG! Pilot of the 04 crash in Houston (to pick up Bush 41) was a co-pilot

[karlrschneider]

with me 25 years ago! I knew about the crash when it happened but didn't pay any attention to the names of the crew and just found out. The NTSB report was just released...yikes. I'm surprised he wangled a job flying that kind of plane, he was pretty mediocre when he flew with me. :eyes:

1. Weird when you recognize the name like that, isn't it?

I was watching family interviews after 9/11 and all of a sudden I realized that the person on the screen was a former colleague.

2. It took me a minute, his name was Milford but he went by Ford.

It is weird, you're right.

3. Maybe he had the "right" politics

:D

4. I don't think we ever discussed it but our boss was Sen. Coburn's dad.

We hauled young Tom all over the country...you can guess what kind of politics that family had/has.
