Can the bottle deposit law work within the aviation community?

Drove to the airfield today, and couldn't help to notice how clean the sides of the highway were. I guess the bottle deposit law is a win-win situation for all people. BUT, I was curious ...

if I could have a nickel, for ALL aviation trash, which trash would I pick? This was a tough ques. to ask myself.

So I need ur help guys. Would you want a nickel for every euro copter that lost it's stabilizer bar and littered? OR would u like a nickel for every van RV4 or 6 that littered?


Give me a nickle for every piece of hardware that ever fell off a C121.

I was on one of them that lost an engine. Not the power, the whole damn engine off the firewall into the Pacific. We made it home and landed. I was around those beast for about 3 years. I can't begin to count the number of time the firetrucks rolled and here come old Connie with a prop standing at attention. We averaged well over one a day landing on emergency.

What an assignment that was.

How well I know that... I guess I have a number hours on me as I have had a number of incidents worth talking about. Wind sheer, bird strike, around a dozen dead engines etc. I'm retired now so things are calmer. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20070625062101AAAeIRx&kid=NbUvWje6VDPYymaObwmf&s=comm&date=2007-06-27+00%3A36%3A13&.crumb=

Ever walk in an open field and see a bottle and wonder how it got there????????

PS

If there is liquid in it....don't drink it!

I needed to throw those puke bags out otherwise the smell would have made me sick. I can't fly a plane and throw up at the same time. You couldn't have given me $1000 for them.

A nickel for a euro copter.

so,people aren't throwing bottles out of their planes?
