:laughing::laughing::laughing: Ya reckon those new-fangled measuring deee-vices will be called pitot-static tubes?

:laughing::laughing: They might call them something like that. They might also have them be heated in jets and other aircraft flown at altitudes that would encounter icing conditions. I wonder what technology will come up with next?

One has to go buy them separately, at Sporty's Pilot Shop!

Chloe Grace Hill was born about 10 minutes to 9 Wed. morning. I got there about 1500 hrs. I got home at 2300 hrs and crashed for a couple of hours. Then I got these photos organized. I so wanted to stay the night, but didn't want to get up tomorrow and drive home to get ready for work, Thursday.
Anyway, Chloe is a cutie pie with a full head of dark hair with lite colored highlights in her hair. She is blue eyed, 7 lbs, 7 oz. 20 inches long. They come home Friday morning. I'll hope to go back Saturday. Chloe is really quiet and has the cutest grunts and squeaks. The room has a couch/bed combo, so Greg is staying there and Chloe stays in the room with them. Pretty neat nowadays. I look so tired and frazzled in the photos.
hugs, Brandi

When I took care of the US Postal plane (DC-9-15) at IAH, the cargo ramp was right next to a drainage ditch that always had water in it. When we launched the plane around 10 pm, we waited 30 minutes than could go home. I always raced around the airport service roads (and under the terminals) to watch wheels up time. One summer night I saw our plane abort takeoff. I raced back to the ramp. Soon as the Captain opened his window and hollered out......"no airspeed", I knew where to look, as it worked fine when she flew in that morning. Sure enough................mud dobbers had started a nest in the pitot mast. A few minutes later I was back on the 30 minute go home clock!
