Am I the only one.........

[Lilah]

Not a bad guy. He's got more in his life than airplanes. He was someone I respected before I ever made the connection here, if that makes any difference. A modest person in the flesh who does his job based on my interaction with him.

Respectfully,

Lilah

AB, I think it was my "faulty" memory with respect to event we talked about.

 

[pilotpat]

Well, he continues to prove how much of an assho he is on all the boards tonght, soo....avcrapper I still say, you're a zero. You're a washed up wanna-be and a has been to boot. In other words

avbug = choker

the end

P.S. If you were a real man, you simply would've PM'd me yesterday to end this stupid thing and simply admit that you were wrong about an approach that you had no idea existed. However, you have taken this to the enth degree and that sir will be your demise.

 

[pilotpat]

get ready...he's writing his response...he's gonna yell at everyone who didn't take up for him.

 

[avbug]

My demise? It was childish babbling before, but now it's threats, is it?

Mmmm. I see.

Seeing as you can't find the light, have a ball.

As for the ASE thing...I believe I said I'd never heard of the approach in question. I don't believe I ever said it didn't exist. That was someone else. But all the same, listening to your blood boil is it's own reward, as is the patient pleasure of going for the record on your systolic pressure. Pop a nitro before you hurt yourself, and take some deep breaths.

What is this choker thing to which you keep referring?

 

[The_Russian]

Who gives a flying CRJ? WHAMBULANCES have been called!

 

[pilotpat]

Sad thing avcrapper is that my pulse didn't get above 65 writing and of my posts, therefore the blood never boiled. So, if I'm that calm - well... Again, spare everyone and PM me to keep this off the boards. As far as the word 'demise'...well, sir - I believe you will have to look that up in the dictionary. There is no threat intended. Evil turns unto itself.

 

[avbug]

Avcrapper...you are a whitty one! A regular intellect...that's probably why you use words that need to be looked up in the dictionary. Words like, what was it...nanny nanny boo boo choker? You had me at nanny nanny boo boo, but then, the whole choker avcrapper thing. Stop it, will ya? You're making me misty.

Seriously, demisemeister, you're one smart cookie. Far be it from me to trifle with the likes of you.

 

[LXApilot]

AvBug usually writes from a professional, knowledgeable, and helpful perspective. I've enjoyed reading his posts and always know that when he responds, it's worthy of my time to read it.

But hey - I think people who don't or haven't flown single engine airplanes in heavy IMC haven't really taken their lumps. Whether it was freight, corporate, or for pleasure or whatever - it's something that enriches your depth of understanding, knowledge of aviation, and improves your flying ability. That being said, it might be one of the best learning experiences out there. Not stupid. Unsafe? Maybe. But not stupid. Leave that kind of unfounded acusation for the weekend warriors to make. Not you AvBug.

 

[minitour]

I can feel it...he's gonna drop the B-bomb (brightspark)....I just know it!

I wasn't going to respond on this thread, but I couldn't resist.

Avbug...my take on him. He seems very knowledgable and very set-in-his-ways. If you don't agree with him, he'll turn your post into a pissing match to prove he's right.

It also seems weird that he's done everything in every type and has every rating, but if you fly a Single in IMC (which I'm sure he's done), you're stupid?? So what makes doing it now different from him doing it whenever he was doing it? Only avbug can tell you...because he's done it with more system failures than you and I and everyone else has combined.

I think the bug has lots of knowledge to pass on and most of his posts are good and worth while to read. Some of them, however, seem to be there to condescend more than pass on knowledge.

The problem is that everyone is human and makes mistakes...and no one is quicker to point out your mistakes than avbug. How about we just acknowledge them and move on. Remember your FOI? Learning is a result of experience! We're all learning...even you avbug.

... and then I went down a few more threads and read AvBugs ridiculous ranting about the "rocks". AvBug, you may be getting cenile, but don't belittle other aviators for thinking something difficult or especially hard that you yourself would not think of as requiring any additional planning or skill. As Traumahawk mentioned, varying degrees of difficult for varying degrees of skill. Even I myself, a once very pompous aviator, has found even more and more patience and understanding with my growing experience. I always wondered why the most senior-done-it-all-million-hour-all-typed pilots never were very cocky or confident. I think it's because they realized in their knowledge and experience that they had come from the very same stuff as the younger more inexperienced guys. Everyone has a few butterflies on their first solo, everyone gives it a little more thought and precision at night in IMC going into sharply rising terrain. Sure it becomes a little easier and routine after you've seen it a few times; but it should never become so monotonous as to be overlooked. And if you say you don't feel the same way, then I call bull$hit sir. Traumahawk is right, a tamed and respectful perspective is the stuff of truly experienced pilots. Don't make us think you aren't.

 

[9GClub]

Back in the day, when I was-- geez I hate to admit this-- considering a first-class membership on A.net...... I stumbled across all y'all single-into-IMC fruitcakes and haven't looked back.

My very first post was a technical question about landing gear, and avbug wrote me a novel with more information than I ever wanted to have on the subject. I remember being impressed and realizing that flightinfo was gonna be a priceless resource. I haven't been disappointed.

So thanks to avbug and the rest of you guys and girls for your experience, your wit, your dripping sarcasm, your overall pissiness, and your timely encouragement. It's cool to count myself among "the pilots."

See look...

Avbug someone does like you and appreciate you.

Quickly, tear off the dress, loosen the noose in your closet; take your head out and look outside to see a beautiful new day!!!

 

[Occam's Razor]

who thinks avbug is a obnoxious, know it all idiot?

No. You are not the only one.

FAR 91.6913b: Any pilot reading a post on an anonymous aviation Forum may take personal offense at the author of the post if

1) The reading airman is also a dweeb, or
2) The offense is compounded by severe cramping, or
3) The airman believes any other sane airman would care.

Many of us have been devastated by heinous personal attacks by Avbug. I myself have been driven to the brink of suicide by his caustic comments, 'cuz if there's one thing a professional aviator must do, it's allow an anonymous typist on a Fourm to get under his/her skin.

If you think Avbug is a troll....ignore him!

Good luck, and fish safe!

 

[luvz2fli]

Avbug is yes very set in his ways and seems to have tons of experience. His knowledge is valuable. My problem with him is it seems if you don't do it his way or think his way you're just an idiot it seems or a "meathead."

The guy definitely knows his stuff though as he probly reads his FAR's on the toilet and as you can tell, he spends a lot of time there. Overall though, just ignore his posts if you don't like what he has to say like someone mentioned before. It is rather funny to see some of you getting into pissing matches on this board.

 

[avbug]

Brightspark, maybe. I don't recall having called anybody a meathead.

Dingbat, perhaps. Two bit four flushing indiscriminate clodhopper, yes. And a few other things.

But not meathead. It just doesn't have pizazz.

 

[Jafar]

I once told a chick, (on the second date) that I was so attracted to her that she could give me herpes of the eyes and I wouldn't care. I didn't make it to a third date, which is unfortunate because I meant it.

I know this has nothing to do with the topic at hand, but it also has no business in the General section, so ... well... you get the point.

 

[luvz2fli]

If I knew how to quote you from other threads I would but since I don't, I just had to copy and paste. This is from the Ag pilot thread that got blown up and most of the time just talked about stupid TCAS monkeys.

"Not exactly. I'm one of them. Several othes who posted here are, also, meathead. You haven't a clue what you're saying."

http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?t=52414&page=3 about halfway down.

"Two bit four flushing indiscriminate clodhopper" <---Much better than meathead.

Jafar, that was so random. Stick to the Aladdin movies buddy.

 

[H.Agenda]

to quote a bug.....

Quote:
He has a TCAS monkey to do traffic watch for him when he's spraying, so everyone was safe, whether they knew it or not. The monkey sleeps most of the time, but when Avbug is heading for the airport, the monkey grabs the sides of the seat from behind, pulls himself forward so that his chin is actually resting on Avbug's noggin, and the little feller keeps his head on a constant 225 degree swivel. When he sees traffic he gives a little screech, which get louder and more urgent the closer the aircraft is to Avbug and his TCAS monkey. When he sees Flight Instructors giving primary dual he goes absolute ape $hit, so Avbug was, of course, in a hurry to get on the ground to shut the little bastidge up.


Now that was funny. Service monkeys. They're not just for breakfast, any more.

As for those claiming that returning to land or load during ag ops isn't part of an operation...what are you thinking??

Dispensing operations include taking off, landing, taxiing, spraying, ferrying to the field, fueling, loading, ferrying back from the field, taking survey runs around the field, proficiency flights, repositioning flights to spray, etc. It's all part and parcel with running an ag operation...not just flying in close concert with the ground dispensing a chemical. It's also far more than just crop dusting...and yes, nonstandard patterns are normal, and expected.

It's unbelievable that a lot of you are taking up for these guys. Evidently, you haven't had much personal experience with them.



Not exactly. I'm one of them. Several othes who posted here are, also, meathead. You haven't a clue what you're saying.

"H",

>>"Now that was funny. Service monkeys. They're not just for breakfast, any more."<<

Ahh, the "breakfast" joke. The most important joke of day! Skip it, and you'll start feeling peckish around 1400. [Insert Avbug comment on the origins of sidereal reckoning to determine local time here]

Ignore me,
