I can't take credit for it but, for those who remember, here is an excerpt from the “V1 Flight Cancellation Newsletter.” September 2004 issue.
Who is R P, like, realy?
A man of many talents the real R P passed away September 26th, 2003. When asking his fans what they will remember most, the answers were as varied as they were intriguing. (Some even insisted that R P lives on and wears for stripes as an ASA crewmember.) We couldn't restrain ourselves; here are his Top 10 most memorable careers:
10. Tom Cruise stand-in
9. Boeing Test Pilot
8. MTV VJ
7. Top Gun Instructor
6. U.N. Weapons Inspector
5. Backup dancer for Michael Flatley
4. Porn Star
3. Undercover Chief Pilot
2. Majority shareholder of Ray-Ban Sunglasses
1. Chippendales Dancer

Okay i got a RP story: (as told to me by the f/o)
RP and this new f/o were on a overnight. Went to the Hotel resturant/Bar for dinner w/the flight attendant. Well apparently this F/A made nice with the bartender and the bartender was going to give her the meal free. Well RP demanded to have his meal free also otherwise the F/A was going to have to pay for her meal! Needless to say the Bartender payed no attention to the "Palm".
RP is full of s***t but is a nice guy.
Is he still at ASA? - Please tell me he IS NOT at Delta.

His name is the same as the guy who sang, "Simply Irresistible." It was used in a popular Pepsi commercial a few years back.

YES that would be the Palm. Just picture lots of bleached strands of straightened ass hair plugged into the top of his head so he doesn't look bald.

Another story from the horse's mouth
The palm was in D concourse some time back bragging about getting his 73 type rating for 3500.00. Another captain called him on it and believe it or not he backtracked and said it only cost him that much because his dad paid half!
Another story from years ago. He bought an Aztec that was doing some drug running at a government auction for no money at all. Something like (10,000). Well in the back of the airplane was a new set of radios that he got for free. Wow this guy sure is lucky!

I guess I'll play too.
1. While waiting to get on a Delta flight in DFW a few years ago with the wife, RP comes up and with no regard for personal space whatsoever, begins to spout off on the "pending re-opening of the DFW hub". Well, my wife...not knowing the tool...gets all excited. "Will you be able to hold DFW...no more commute...better travel..." etc. Since she was on an S2 (when we still had those gems) she got a much nicer seat than me and borded first. After takeoff, when the seatbelt sign went off, I unstraped my seatbelt, walked forward and wispered in her ear..."remember the story of the guy with the finger gun?" She nodded. "That's him" I said...she visibly deflated.
Story 2
While on a DCA overnite, my F/O and I went to Arlington to look up his grandfather who was buried there. (dead of course). The F/O had been there the previous month but had run out of time before finding the grave. Anyway, we found it and then looked at several other famous sites before making our way to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. (Very cool if you've never been)
Anyway, after watching the changing of the guard and getting poured on by very heavy rain, we make our way back to the metro. While walking, he tells me that his capt had gotten to lay a wreath at the tomb many years ago. Story goes that the capt (as a teen) was at Arlington in his CAP uniform and was picked out of the crowd to lay the wreath with President Regan as the official guy had not shown up.
Coolest thing I had ever heard...and then later, upon reflection I had to ask..."where you flying with RP by any chance?" "Yeah, why" was the response...
who knew we had such a legend at ASA...well, RP knows and he is spreading the word.

keep this going, it's much better than usual threads.

I disagree whole heartedly. No one here is saying anything on the web that they wouldn't say to RP's face. He keeps opening his mouth after getting called on his "experiences". If he's going to play, so am I.
Keep in mind, this is the same guy who blew over a baggage cart in ROA with jetblast just because he was given a 30 minute groundstop and was annoyed. I'll even use capital letters for this next statement. HE IS DANGEROUS
Now, if you'd like to pm, im, or even e-mail me for more details, go right ahead. The stories listed are the funny ones...there are other, less funny stories that I can tell.

RP's motto: Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Gotta say i was proud of him for demanding that the van driver ditch the BloJet crew at the hotel in TUL when they were supposed to ride with us to the airport. He could do that because he was a former Tulsa Chief of Police/SWAT Team commander, Lt. Governor of Oklahoma, and his wife was the real life inspiration for the X-Files' Agent Scully.

Fake rug head........What's happenin'????????
Glad you could join us. Nothing like a name of B.T. Justice and comments that shadow yourself to give yourself away.
Since you're the real Palm, give some of your own stories.
Please??????
