Dick,
Be carefull what you wish for.....
When Rich drove for us in 1989, he and I made a trip to Atlanta in Rich's Beech Baron (twin engine airplane) to talk with the builder of the Buick V-6 engine we would be using. I was a student pilot at the time and occupied the right seat (co-pilot) for the flight. We traversed the busy Atlanta airspace and were at the small field before we knew it.
Rich set up for final approach and I could tell we were high and fast but he touched down halfway down the runway, reversed the props and stood on the brakes. We stopped less than 3 feet from the end of the runway. As we backtaxied to the FBO Rich looked over at what must have been my white face, grinned and said, "I thought we were coming in a little hot but I was pretty sure we would make it." :rolling:
How I miss that man!!!
