[FL420]

COD may be ugly, but when she is the only girl at the dance, she looks pretty good. Plus landing on the ship was fun.

Ship?..........Ship?

C'mon Yip. We can't be caught calling it the ship! You don't want to be mistaken for a blackshoe, do you?

I'm sorry, my mistake, 420 is right that should be boat just to irritate by black shoe brethren. However I was ship's company and qualified OOD (U) so ship does drift into my conversation at times. I am trying to get over it by drinking with pilots as often as I can.

I had that conversation one night at NAS Norfolk's Breezy Point Officer's club. Some guy in a white uniform (they were all over the place) kept trying to explain to me that a boat was something you lowered from a ship. I said, "Aren't subs boats?" and the conversation went downhill from there.

However, there are three Naval Aviators at Gulfstream and I've never heard them call a carrier anything but a boat.

I guarantee you I have a better QOL, have more time off and make more money than anyone at GRI, CSC / Dyncorp or Blackwater... and nobody shoots at me.

With so much money, and such a great QOL I would think you could get a better signature line then BAD ATTITUDE

Don't make any Guarantees!

Hi all -

I figured that this forum would be the most appropriate place to pose my question. I was wondering what kind of backgrounds CIA pilots have, as I am assuming that they have their own aviation assets (in fact, it came to light in the press several months ago). Does anyone have any gouge? Are they pipelining folks straight from active duty?

Just curious... thanks!

I once told a Coastie at Bates Field that I thought the HU-16 Albatross was the ugliest airplane that I had ever seen. He about knocked me off my bar stool (you kinda have to consider the environ and hour in which the comment was made).

GV, it sounds like your military career consisted mainly of you using military airplanes to fly from bar to bar to start fights with guys from other services.

 

[pilotyip]

Fly else would you fly in the military other than go from club to club and start heated discussions . It makes for great career.

Old saying.

Those who know don't talk.

BTW. I don't know.

True. Very True.

Where they really blown their fixed wing contemporaries away is in the simulator, they have a very light control touch, and fly very smoothly. Unlike the heavier handed King air and Baron drivers.

Hey, I resemble that remark
