Haha Peter ! Yes, Peter is my twin, but we don't look much alike - He has all the Talent too - Am sure you remembered him - he use to take Still Photos for me - until we had a problem in Ft. Meyers in 1986 - The Governer let go on our Jet Ranger - we were in sight of the Airport in fact had called in for Refuel and permission to land - however in seconds the engine started to over speed and was not controlable - so my Pilot made the decision to land where we were - in a Sub-division - at the time we just watched for wires and all was calm - only when I started to walk to a near by house to use a phone, did I realize what could have happened. From that time on - he either flew in a separate Helicopter or not at all with me.

Anyway - good to hear form you Peter - you and your team were always a Class Act - and I never had a problem remembering your name - same as my twin brother Peter !

Be well Peter !

Nice to hear from you, Phil.

For a real Class Act, look no further than to NNRT.

Awe Shucks ! - Thank you Peter - we all had fun while it lasted -
I appreciate your friendship ! Our efforts were a Team effort - Great Pilots, um... narration - let me see um..... oh yes - it was good too even if I had to edit with the audio turned off at times !

and most of all - we had clients like You Peter who believed in us - and were there for us ! Thank you !

Phil:

Funny....you didn't worry about me going down in flames with you...

Tell them about the exploding battery trick when we put down on the beach in Mantoloking........or running on fumes in the fog across the Chesapeake Bay....... or dipping a strut in the water off Atlantic City....or flying up between the World Trade Center towers...... or skimming over (and between) the trees in the Everglades.....or playing chicken with "Brand X's" helicopter over Fort Myers and Key West (and always winning)...

You also missed a few when I was flying with Mac Gowan and ESPN.... The pilot who I had to smack (literally) when he hysterically panicked after his buddy crashed in front of us at Corpus....or the other guy who was crying because I wanted him to fly somewhere near the race course (perish the thought!)... You would not believe the schmucks I had to give "on the job training" to after the NNRT days were over.

As I constantly repeat....you can't make this stuff up.

Hi Kurt - Hope to get down there - thanks for the Invitation - Thanks to all for their comments -

[Bertram38]

Just did a complete maintenance on B38, all looks good, even checked oil filters for any weird debree, all clean. Not a trace of any precious metals in either filter. 65 hours and still runnin strong. I was going to update a few things this year, but nope, money does not grow on trees.
But the older I get, it sure cripples me up to work in that damn engine room.
Takes about two days of cramps and extreem pain before I get back to normal. Advils are my savior.
Phil, I have me a girlfriend now, so my deck hardware will be interesting from now on.
