I want to thank all of you for those nice e-mails. It\u2019s a subject close to my heart. I\u2019ve been fascinated with aviation all my life. My father was a lawyer, but if he really would have fulfilled his dream, he would have run a major airport somewhere.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-311381\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-021618-Rush-Dad.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-021618-Rush-Dad.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-021618-Rush-Dad-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>My father flew P-51s in the China-Burma theater of World War II. He also was an instructor on B-25s. I\u2019ve seen a picture of him outside one, I think it was in Alabama in World War II, I\u2019m not totally sure about that. He had a little Cessna 182 for a while when we were growing up, and my mother took flight school lessons, and she went to her ground school and did her solo and so forth, and got her instrument rating with the hood. I saw all this as I was growing up and I\u2019ve been fascinated with aviation all my life. My dad got every flight magazine there was, Aviation, Flight, whatever, and he was reading them, and, you know, if I may get personal here for a brief moment before we go to the break, my father and mother would not believe my life. One of the saddest things, one of the most regretful things I have is that my father died before we acquired EIB One. He would have not believed it. I would not have been able to get him out of the cockpit jump seat. He would have tried to go get his jet rating. He wouldn\u2019t have been interested in sitting back in the passenger cabin with the flight attendant servicing adult beverages and food.<\/p>\n<p>He would want to be up there in the cockpit flying. He\u2019d want to do acrobatics in it, which of course you can\u2019t do. (laughing) He\u2019d want to do aerobatics; he\u2019d want to do the stalls; he\u2019d want to try the single engine procedure; he\u2019d want to be involved in all of this. That\u2019s one of my major regrets; that he never even knew. It\u2019s not that he was sick and wasn\u2019t able to do it, he never even knew that we had acquired an EIB One. But, no, I\u2019ve had a lifelong fascination (interruption) &#8212; what? No, you can\u2019t, by regulation, you can\u2019t do a barrel roll. No, not in a corporate jet. That\u2019s not that kind of an airplane. These things, most of them will not even fly upside down. The fuel pumps, well, that\u2019s not true, safety regulations today, but they\u2019re not designed for it. Those are emergency procedures that work for a while, but they\u2019re not designed for that kind of torque and stress that you would put on it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I got so many nice e-mails from people throughout the aviation industry thanking me for informing people as to all of the tentacles that spread out from a corporate jet, even from its manufacturer to service, completion, and so forth.
