wartload 0 #26 May 12, 2006 QuoteSometimes the working girls are less expensive, when you figure in the costs of child support, divorce lawyers, etc. Or so I've been told. And, in some cases (so I've been told) you get laid more often that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidlayne 5 #27 May 15, 2006 From "Beech 18: A Civil & Military History" (pages 271-272 including a color photo): "A van drove onto the runway as C-45G N6065V was about to touchdown at a Beatty, NV brothel, (Fran's Star Ranch). On May 28, 1977 a sky diving contest was in progress at the Ranch, and as the jump plane was preparing to land after dropping some parachutists, a van pulled into its path. A collision was avoided, but the sudden application of power blew an engine, and the aircraft veered into a high voltage power line. No one was badly injured, but the plane was beyond repair. Currently it is parked alongside US Route 95 as an eye catcher next to the sign, advertising the ranch."I don't care how many skydives you've got, until you stepped into complete darkness at 800' wearing 95 lbs of equipment and 42 lbs of parachute, son you are still a leg!

MissBuffDiver 0 #29 September 21, 2010 I was there when the plane crashed..Couple of whuffos got out and then the pilot too. We thought there would be fatalities..Amazing they survived.. I remember Fran's Star Ranch very well. That's another story in another post. Actually one of the 1st things I saw when I logged onto this site. Hey, you talkin bout me? Yes, they were.

RogerRamjet 0 #30 September 22, 2010 It took a little scanning in google earth, but I was able to find the aircraft. I was confused since there is a paved airport a bit south of Beatty and I was looking there. However, the matchbook cover gave me the hint that the truck stop was 3 mi north of Beatty on 95, so I scanned up the road and eventually found the plane. Imagery date is Nov 19, 2006, so it was there at that time at least. ----------------------- Roger "Ramjet" Clark FB# 271, SCR 3245, SCS 1519 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spooky52 0 #34 July 22, 2012 I know it's probably a bit late for this reply but it was Chief Master Sergeant (USAF) George MORAR (no e) until he retired and went hippie on us, dumped his wife and shacked up with a 19 year old and he ran the operation out of a red Ford van, not a pickup truck. How do I know this? I was there, jumping with the Travis AFB Club, which George ran until he retired. I was also in the same squadron as he was. Just setting the record straight. :-)If you know how many guns you have - you don't have enough! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
