Doctor Bob Gordon Shops Hot Dogs From Boston

On the road again and our last moments on American soil. I must say that I will never get tired of discussing things with Puma, for even if we disagree many times he is a joy to listen to. Yoda shares all his experience, too. Of course, we start joking like kids every five minutes. Argento and PD meanwhile keep telling lots of stories from the old days of F1.

The younguns (Kathy, GFG and James) have started a battle of songs. Somebody bring some duct tape! Yesterday I stood up late with GFG and he told me many things about everyday life in India. It was really interesting until I was just too drunk to understand what he said. Which was OK, as he was too drunk as well, and his stories turned into some unintelligible babble.

Ecap told me to take good care of his plane while he was away. As if I didn't know how to properly flight this thing!!!!

We woke up late, but we managed to have a quick lunch before getting back on the plane. A beautiful day once again, and we are off to Boston!

Everything went smoothly as usual until, about 10 minutes after departure, I heard some strange noise and then a loud BANG!

Ooops...



According to the plane's manual, that smoke shouldn't be there and I had to turn off the left engine.
Yoda, James and Puma embarked in a discussion on how these planes were built to survive these accidents. GFG decided to recall every single tragic air accident in history. PD and Argento gave us an in deep lesson on how to curse both in English and Spanish. I was trying hard not to piss in my pants. And Kathy seemed most calm than the rest of us!

Thankfully, these planes really are built to fly even on just one engine. We kept flying east as there were no suitable airports around for landing. I decided to fly non stop until Boston.

After a short but rather tense flight, finally we arrive at Logan Intl. A busy airport but we had priorioty for landing due to the failure.

"Thank you for flying and I hope you enjoy your stay in Boston" is all I can say while everybody rushes to the exit. Oh, well, I guess I shall have this plane repaired before Ecap is back.

Eric was at the airport. He is even more of a joker in person than he is online. Jokes come and go, while he takes us for a tour around the "generic city of Boston" (yeah, that hurt!) :-p

Anyways, we spent some days visiting the city (I love Boston almost as much as N.Y.) I hired a J-3 Cub which is an ideal small plane for sightseeing. Here are some pics for you, Eric, just to prove you that it isn¡t THAT generic. At least you can tell where the Charles River is, and some buildings.

That's all from Boston for now. We are now hoping that Eric will be a good host because we want another BBQ. What? Chinatown? Darn...I hate chinese food!
