Don't Call Me a Legend
I was a the BFC for the Thursday night dinner last week and purchased "Don't Call Me a Legend" by Garth Wallace. (My book is signed by the author!) It took me only four days to read it! What a great book and a great life story of Charlie Vaughn. My only wish was for the book to be twice the size, as I'd like to know more of Mr. Vaughn's flying adventures.
If you have not read this great book, I strongly recommend it for anyone who likes airplanes and aviation stories.

Jazz orders 15 new Q400 Bombardier planes
Feb. 9, 2010 – Jazz Air LP recently stated it had signed a deal to buy 15 Bombardier Q400 NextGen aircraft with options for an additional 15 aircraft.
Financial terms of the deal were not released.
Jazz, the regional partner of Air Canada, said the 74-seat turboprop aircraft will replace 15 50-sear regional jets.
The order for the new aircraft came as Jazz Air Income Fund reported a fourth-quarter profit of $20.8 million.
Operating revenue for the quarter ended Dec. 31 amounted to $351.2 million, down from $392.7 million in the last three months of 2008.
The airline said the drop was due in part to lower pass-through costs charged to Air Canada, a reduction in billable hours and a cut in the mark-up charged by Jazz a deal last year with Air Canada.
