Everybody, welcome to the Stratosphere Lounge.

I'm your host, Bill Whittle, and we've got two streams, not one, but two, two streams

going simultaneously.

My immediate thought, as I mentioned this, is that I'm reminded of what they said about

twin-engine airplanes, and that is they're twice as likely to get an engine failure, so I suppose

there's that.

Speaking of airplanes, obviously every commercial jet, twin-engine commercial jet is certified

for able to take off at full loading under worse conditions, get up high enough circle around. So even if you lose an engine on the most critical part of the flight, you're fine. But the twin-engine piston airplanes, on the other hand, like the old baron and things like that, not so much. You had to fly those things perfectly if you lost an engine, and even if you did, you have a climb rate of maybe 150, 200 feet per minute. And that's where that expression,

that second engine is there to fly you to the scene of the accident comes from. So, anyway,

that's our airplane talk for the day. And thanks for joining us. So everybody have a great night,

and we will see you next time right here on the stress feeling. Okay.

So it's good to be here.

And it is the 5th of October.

That part I can believe that's the 2023 that always gives me so much problem.

Oh, there's a clever line from Isafindi.

Asafendi, sorry.

You may say I'm a streamer, but I'm not the only one.

Clever.

Well played, sir, madam.

Yes, so we usually start the show a little story time, and sometimes I don't have anything to say, which is, I don't know, this is show number 470, I guess, something.

And I think that's happened twice, 370. So we were still waiting for John, who's in Europe, we'll be back at the end of the month and I'm hoping to get Gary Sucidiv before then.

And this is just my little story time here.
