| I heard 573AT on the radio leaving Houston yesterday. The pilot reported an "airsickness" problem . I recognized the tail number; I flew that plane a couple times in May of '05 when it only had a handful of hours on the airframe.Mike |

| Junior Member | That's the one that I had the turn coordinator go out in IMC at night, and the altitude indicator was like 10 degrees of bank in level flight, Fun Stuff |

| Dont think I ever flew on that one, the Only 2000 we got to fly from JAX-PHX was 245AT, pritty nice plane. and Ferried 254AT it had a very bad radio problem. The most memorable one was Definatly "Burger King"- 204BK?

| 573AT was a brand new 2005 when I flew it. I guess instruments aren't what they used to be. Maybe solid state/glass is the way to go for new GA planes after all, since it seems to be cheaper than steam gauges anyway. Mike |

| Old Skool | I think it was 304BK. what about Chicken Killer? the one that automatically did steep right turns.

| Hey I flew Chicken Killer and I didn't think it was that bad. We called 357DA "Magnum Dumb Ass" back in the day. |

| I'm trying to find the lyrics to the song invented by someone in the pit. It's sung to the tune of "Ridin' Dirty" except it goes 'Flyin' Inverted'.

| Van-Hoolio, I'm at my one-year point and I'm on reserve... but I'm in CLE. I keep flopping between reserve/relief. Next month is looking good for relief though. It's not bad if you live in base like I do. |
