That morning, Haidl learned that his pilot hadcrashed the plane.DH That was at 9 in the morning. Or 8:30 in the morning. They were supposed topick me up at 9 and shoot to Coalinga which is standard [UI]. 9:20 my phonestarts lighting up. They’re not telling me then ‘cause it’s all Thresholdemployees, he’s got like 70 employees out there so they’re just giving thecompany line. There’s been an issue with the airplane. We’ll have mark callyou. So mark calls me and says here’s the Reader’s Digest version. Landed inthe middle of the runway but the props are bent up, the nose in the air.MC F you.DH Wasn’t ‘till 3 o’clock they get it off the runway. Who’d ever thought that.Nobody maintains a plane more perfectly than I do.MC Yeah, but you know that stuff just happens.DH Right. It’s a machine.MC Yeah, exactly.DH It is a machine. I don’t care how good you are, you know. It’s a one-in-a-milliondeal, it, you know.MC Exactly. And that’s why people, all the years I’ve flown in all the shit I do, it’s just a matter of time where you gonna have something go wrong.

I’m going when it’s my time I just don’t want to go when it’s the pilot’stime, you know.MC Yeah.DH And it was humorous because just the night before Jimmy called, the pilot--about every other week that he flies--I’ve got another kid that, you know, Mark’snot involved in that stuff much any more, he’s got like 70 - 100 employees outthere, he’s got a huge operation now—MC Really—
