Dear PCN (of over 2600 subscribers),

Happy 4th of July Holiday Break!  

239 years since the Dec of Independence!


Rash of Deaths and Notices from PCN:
I often times get one liners like this one from Capt Steve:  Crap, lots of guys your age kicking the bucket... Time to buy a new fishing boat....”    captsteve06@yahoo.com
Believe it or not I can relate.  It is heavy and disconcerting to see so many notices about  our fellow aviators who have died.  Since we are all aging it becomes a little close to home.  Like I said……I can relate.  However, many times I see a notice about someone I worked with, cared about or can relate to and then I pause, reflect and many times send comments or thoughts to the surviving family.  Bottom line, PCN Death Notices can come in a rash and can be heavy, but many many (as I do) appreciate the service and hats off to our manager Carol Faulkner for all the hard work in managing “Flight West” and our notices.   Thank you!

We  also had an email questioning the PCN’s publishing of a compiled list of deceased pilots edited by David Roberts.  The email was concerned about security issues. Allow me to re-state our policy about the publishing of notices and lists.  Regarding the lists, they are published on a semi-private PCN web site and are difficult to ever find unless you are a subscriber to the PCN. Further, the list contain no employee or social security numbers and publish no more sensitive information about the deceased than is readily accessible online by virtually anyone.  Regarding notices they are distributed to our closed and scrutinized group only and when archived on our “Flight West” page, only information that is readily available online of published obits and news releases is included. 

Odd Calm!
Take a look at the Boeing 767 HSI in the upper left hand corner. Notice anything unusual?


TAS (True Airspeed) = 462 and GS (Ground Speed) = 462. They are they same meaning notta, zippo absolutely Zero winds aloft. Sometimes this happens when the winds are a direct cross but this time it happened at Flight Level 38,000' over the Pacific with absolutely no wind at all. We've all seen many times winds at this altitude of over 200 mph, but unless we have flown the equator only 1 in 10,000 times a situation like this occurs in the mid latitudes.  Odd!
