I am glad to hear that I am not the only one getting my pictures rejected by those people!

I submitted a few pics to that site when I was 17 (1998), and they are still there. They suck badly too. I guess they were not so picky back then.

To those of you that thought I was being harsh on the a.netters, I respect anyone's right to participate in a forum, be an airline enthusiast, whatever. The example of posting the registration information of the Westwind in St. Maarten and suggesting that the pilot was being careless and wreckless, BASED ON A PHOTO, was totally out of line, particularly by someone who was most likely not a pilot. As previously stated, it would not be that far-fetched to think that the information could be used to harass the operator. Many of those enthusiasts have no clue how a pilot's career can be affected by such misinformation and the sacrifices, care and effort we take to keep our certificates intact on a daily basis. There have been countless other examples of postings on that message board that were totally baseless and concluded from rumors that could have jeopardized one or more individual's livelihood or career, whether a pilot or other airline professional.

OMG, I gotta say, this thread is so funny! I don't truly think anyone means anything heartless when they type, but you guys on this message board please back up KittyKat, it is funny! I have been fascinated with planes and rockets since I was a kid.

Hawkerflyer has me rolling! I didn't even know what a "westwind" was till I went to oshkosh today! Can you imagine, even a tri motor!

thank god, I don't ask stupid questions( ok once in a while I do)

I was a pilot wannabe for years! I just wanted to learn what to do, how to hold the yoke, how to do an ifr, how to do a vfr, someone where inside me I would still like to take a flight lesson.

I could see how aviation buffs love to ask questions, deep down inside it is a fascination. Being married to a pilot, he told me alot, both my x husband and my financee have been flying since they were 14 years old. I am fascinated with those planes from the 30's and 40's.

Yes, there are some weird people out there, but we are all here for one reason and that is the love of flying!

I haven't checked out the other message board yet, but I'm sure it is a hit!

Love MissKittyKat

EDIT:

A couple of glasses of wine and a quiet evening with the wife, and I get all earnest and spill my life story. I should have a one glass of wine limit before I post.

Don't appologize...I'm with ya bra...lets find out when they are having their summer forum picnic and crash it. Before they know what's going on and after we have stolen their chicks, we'll flip over their picnic tables and run like hell...while wearing t-shirts that say "flight instructor's homepage" on them.

REALLY?

No, not really. The flight instructor's homepage guys are cool...lets do it while wearing t-shirts from some PFT school, they'll love the publicity.

I don't know about this, man. I'm imagining the airliners.net chicks.

****shudders*****

We'd be doing it on "principle" alone...no need to use real names.

Oh, okay. Takin' one for the team. That's different.

 

[FN FAL]

The sad part is...now they have read this, they'll have to go out and get chicks to come out, just so they won't be embarrased when we show up.

This was pretty funny though:

You should have turned around and punched him in the face, paused to give him a second to realize what happened, and then said, "How do you like me now, b!tch?!" Then rummage through his pockets and take back your $5. If you can find an extra $1, take it too, but hold in front of his and crinkle it a couple of times, before saying "interest!" Make sure to say it with a rakish grin on your face, otherwise it has no effect.

From what I've heard if the above did happen to a US Airways guy, it'd be a good day.

CR I found $60.00 in Henry's Pub in the Gas Lamp District in SAN on the first night of a 3 day layover and Andy B. was my best friend all night!

Hey, FN, if we steal the A.net chicks, won't the Flightinfo chicks get jealous?

Thread creep: Anyone else mesmerized by Vik's avatar? Yeah, rather hot. (Not worried about the Flightinfo chicks being jealous, they're all hotter than Vik's avatar! ).TC

P.S.--There are some knowlegable and decent people on A.net. There are also a lot of d-bags that make the most arrogant Riddler look like a drinkin' buddy...

I can't help but notice that it is the so-called "professionals" on flightinfo.com that are doing all the bashing of the airliners.net people. Haven't seen it go the other way yet.

And your point? So called professionals? I believe that when you get paid to do something that makes you a professional.
