At random: USS SKATE and USS SEADRAGON, after affecting a historic rendezvous under the ice, surfaced together at the North Pole through an opening in the ice on August 1962. What really happened: We didn't surface together, Skate surfaced first. Then we (Seadragon) fired yellow flares forward and aft so Skate could tell us how we were lined up. Remember, under-ice was primitive in these days. Skate called back down rapidly that one flare surfaced on her starboard side and the other to port. She requested we reposition before vertical surfacing. We did. - Coyote (Owen Carlson)

...thought Ric might be trying to tell me something there.

No, no matter how much I may want to 'out do' the guys of the 'Swines of the Highest Order', I will not be doing that!

Midday, Chicago time, I fly to Minneapolis, then off to Tokyo ( 12 hours flying ) and then home to Perth ( 10 hours flying )

Yes Bill ( Whalen ) It was indeed a pleasure!

Till we meet again guys....

Like it or not, Mate, word has it that the High Priest Swine, Olgoat himself, of the "Swine of the Highest Order" has bestowed an Honorary Degree on you. It was approved unanimously by the entire membership. Congrats, Mate!!!!!!!!!!!!! That alone should be cause enough for you to return at your earliest convenience. Bring POD with you and we'll bestow upon him honorary membership in our Oz Chapter.

Fair winds and following seas, my friend.

"This is not a safety-related matter in terms of the operation of the aircraft or in terms of the mechanical adequacy of the aircraft,” said board spokesman John Cottreau from Ottawa."

Nope it's all about testing the the door release mechanism when required when you are in a hurry, works well it seems.
