FishBowl Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 They were with the RSU. Happened following a touch and go.
LookieRookie Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Glad to hear they got out safely. Just another data point for actually procuring a T-X.

matmacwc Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 obsolescent adjective much of the business etiquette our parents knew is obsolescent: dying out, on the decline, declining, waning, on the wane, disappearing, past its prime, aging, moribund, on its last legs, old-fashioned, outmoded, downlevel, on the way out; obsolete, outdated, out of date, behind the times. Learn something new er'ey day. 1
