not far off, I knew Charlie, did business with him, just not for money, he didn't pay his bills. :) They kept that operation extremely hush hush, he wouldn't let his own mother in that racing shop. :)

You were the pilot for what - the boat ? the Helicopter ? Name ?
Maravilha q encanta e fascina.

only when the water was calm, and the throttleman took good care of the engines
