Title: Plane Broke
Post by: Wally15 on December 02, 2019, 02:56:24 PM
American Eagle sucks. Autopilot broke in flight and we diverted to Shreveport. I will probably miss my connecting flight in DFW to Puerto Vallarta. No idea if I can get to Marlas before they head out. I left Alan a vm and text, so I hope he gets this.

They'll have gear on the boat if your bag had anything like that. Otherwise, I'm sure you've gone a few days without showering before.

They can't fly without an autopilot?  Did you cancel missions in 'Nam when your autopilot went out?  Oh yeah, that's what I thought... no autopilot in a huey!  Man, how did you ever do it without one!

talk about added stress.  I don't think you really needed that but sounds like you are back on track, hope all goes well and the boat is waiting for you when you arrive.

Hope the fishing Gods treat you well after all of that. When I first saw the title I thought about my condition. I am just "plain" broke.  ;)
