| Yeah, one of our long-time pilots. He's been flying out of GRR for years. He has somewhere around 23,000 flight hours when he retired this week. Really good guy. The company was nice enough to arrange a little "welcome home & congrats" spray-down after his last flight. Unfortunately I was on a flight coming back from DAB about the time he was "washing in", but one of the office people passed on the pictures.

| Actually they do that to cool the airframe from heating effects during flight. ![]()

| Old Skool | I remember watching a C130 last flight out Willie in PHX. The AC was getting out after 20 something years. I was hanging out in the tower and watched the two fire trucks sprayed the plane down as it taxied out. We all commented on how one of the trucks sprayed directly into the number 4 engine. Sure enough they get out to the runway and have to taxi back to the ramp because of a vibration in the number 4 engine. Oops. |

| Yeah, that'll be cool. Maybe I'll hire a couple kids to spray garden hoses as I taxi in. ![]()
