Nice show and tell Truck
I visited the Rock about 10 and 15 years ago, a real experience. Also met and spoke at length to an ex-inmate (they had guest inmate of the week so to say), a very interesting gentleman by the name of Jim Quillian (he wrote a very informative book about his stay) who I may add turned himself around after is holiday on the island and made a real life for himself (he trained and worked as a radiographer). How ever, I felt on both occasions that I was being taken for a ride by how much it cost to get in. The queues to get a ticket went around the block, and the boats filled to the last man. For that you got to look at a few buildings and a derelict building sight. It would appear that not much of the amassed cash gets put back in to a HUGE tourist attraction :-?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
Best concert/airshow ever!
