Plane Crash in Lancaster PA

[houseoftechno]

The city in PA is pronounced "Lankister," while the Hollywood star is pronounced "LANN-CAST-er." Just saying.

Same here!

Four steps up a ladder I'm shaky as hell. 1500ft in the traffic pattern, no problem at all (I'm sitting down!).

Never leaned out a door, though. I did once go for a ride on a military Huey, 110kts at 30ft weaving around sand dunes more than 100ft tall while listening to (quiet) metal music over the a/c intercom. No doors fitted that time. That was fun!

I live in Lancaster PA and I never heard about this.
