CHOPPER GARY, PROMO ACE OF
THE SKIES

"Nervous? Why would I be nervous?" asks sole passenger and Republic VP Top 40 promo Lucas Romeo in response to pilot/promo chief Gary Spangler's query about their prop-plane flight. "I always vomit copiously into a paper bag around this time in the afternoon. Could we listen to something other than the Big Bopper?" Later, Gary expertly piloted the single-engine Cirrus into the overhead bin on Bob Pittman's jet.
