No, I didn't tape it. Sorry. The man was the pilot and his wife was in the right seat. I don't recall what they were fighting about, but it started on the ground and continued after they were up in the air. I guess that's why he had his radios etc turned off. This is not a good recipe for a safe flight. He was 'flying under the influance of a distraction'. ; - ( Bob Saville Georgia Trehey wrote: > Bob, > > You didn't say which partner was the pilot.
