The tag refers to what the <I>birds</I> were reported to be busy with. <BR/><BR/>I never thought of people using the tags as a preview to see if they wanted to read the entry or not. There are cases where I edit details out of a post and neglect to remove the corresponding tags, but this is not one. Swans, people. Swans.<BR/><BR/>And airplanes with flat tires. I've only had one once that I recall, and that was discovered on preflight at a maintenance base. Taxied over and picked up a screw in the tire at the end of the previous flight. The guys who changed it were like an Indy pit crew.

You can fly them regularly for years and never have to put air in the tires. Leave it sit for a couple weeks and they start to go flat.nec Timidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017143602023726206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-56475665133602005812008-11-16T02:51:00.000+00:002008-11-16T02:51:00.000+00:00From loon(ies) to swans ... this blog is for the b...From loon(ies) to swans ... this blog is for the birds ... groannn.<BR/><BR/>Last time I was in Grande Prairie the airport was better known for its elk than its swans - as in Wapati Aviation (Wapati being a Cree(?) word for elk).<BR/><BR/>fwiw - I was curious and googled to find a TC cancellation document of Wapiti's operating certificate way back in 1988.
