Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 22, 2023

Fritz acknowledges Marcia’s assistance even though she’s ‘on the fritz’

Mildred will not be happy about this…After all, Fritz is her husband, not Marcia’s.

It’s nice to see a wife happy to see her husband on Ballard Street.

judging from her stance, it won’t be a safe landing at all – for her.

Shouldn’t she be guiding him to the La-Z-Boy?

He needs all the help he can get coming home from “Happy Hour”.

Call the ball

But neither of them wish to talk about that day the bee was bothering Marcia…

Good morning Balladeers!

Fritz don’t look like he wanted a safe landing, just once he would like to go wild and have a go at it himself.

Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby.

HA! Home sweet lollipops!

Aviation buffs , quick question . Is Marcia using English style wands for marshalling ? I worked ground crew on the ramp and we used lighted wands that were stick like in shape .

Fritz has his gear down, his flaps set, his mixture full rich, BUT, unfortunately, did not check his compass.

Isn’t that semaphore for “did you remember the milk?”

Marcia guides Fritz to the maintenance hangar to repair a problem gas leak.

sometimes fritz wishes he could just wing it…
