Having sat in a taxi way oven for hours at the time I can't help but wonder what the cabin temperature and 02 levels were. Not trying to justify nor excuse...but some of the expectations are bizarre.

not to mention yet another of the ever dwindling inventory of AeroCommander 500 series lost to idiocy.

I understand the 'loath to blame another pilot'...but doing the preflight is essential...and not just the parts you want to. I've flown early in the morning and gotten fuel only to find that I had GALLONS of water in the tank...because the new fuel truck jockey didn't bother to drain the water from their large tank. I've walked away from a flight where the PIC couldn't be bothered to take a sample after refueling...and watched the aftermath when the engine quit on take off. Thats one checklist item you cannot afford to miss. Just do it. Live to fly another day.

Guns ENABLE. AUTO TRACK ENABLE. AUTO TRACK ON. AUTO FIRE OFF. (I want to pull the trigger myself whilst removing Superior Virtue from the gene pool).

I understand there are numerous positions in IRAQ that are open. Sheep Herder, Broom Pusher, Brick layer, and the like.

All the others were just fine until it was Trumps turn. Then all the wailing moaning, teeth gnashing, crybaby, demturds have to try to start a bunch of crap about it. I have never seen such a bunch of sore losers. But hey...they think they are butt hurt now...just wait til November!!!

Would that there were cheap simple conformal coating. The auto industry gave up on that approach decades ago. They use liquid detectors like is done on cell phones and lap tops so the warranty determination can be a minimal cost to them. That really doesn't help at FL350 when the coffee goes where it shouldn't.
