Gallipolis is a town in extreme southeastern Ohio—not to be confused with the World War I battle site on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey. This one got its name in 1790, when some Frenchmen (“Gallia”) established a village or city (“polis”) across from where West Virginia’s Kanawha River joins the mighty Ohio. They’d been discovered as stowaways on an Ohio riverboat and unceremoniously put ashore in what was then Native American territory. It’s probably most famous today as the site of the first Bob Evans restaurant on his farm in nearby Rio Grande.
Unusual Attitudes: What the FAA Lady Said
Key Takeaways:
- An FAA inspector, while investigating a bird strike incident at Gallia-Meigs Regional Airport, critically commented on the selected repair shop based on a past negative personal experience.
- This overheard comment was relayed to relevant parties, including the aircraft owner and the repair shop, leading to a formal complaint against the inspector.
- Consequently, the inspector received an FAA letter of reprimand for letting personal economic experiences influence her professional duties, though she expresses no regret for sharing her opinion.
