Comair ID's

[Lance501]

Have ya seen the Comair IDs yet? I hope its a joke and I'll see the real ones soon. The new ones look like some half arse slap a picture on some plastic jobber. I can't believe they put CREW across the bottom in bright red! So ugly I just can't explain.......
What do you think.

 

[chperplt]

They are new IDs based on TSA requirements. Everyone is getting them

Any Comair pilots that instructed at the academy in '99-'01?

You're such a badass!!! j/p

 

[ShinerBocknabtl]

That Seminole with the feathered prop.....Wonder if you took that picture before or after my checkride, engine quit on me too. Or how about the one that always rolled right, N2103Killer.

Remember that one? And the perpetually pissed off controller? What was his name? Aww to heck with it, I can't remember. I do miss those days, especially the blue blue blue beyond all description of blue waterfall right out front of the Sanford Landing apartment complex.

I had the other one feathered also.

 

[Hovernut]

I had the other one feathered also.

Now had I posted that one, too....I would be incrimidating myself!

And the perpetually pissed off controller? What was his name?

That was "Grumpy!" And, yes, the Ty-D-Bowl water in Sanford Landing's waterfall was appropriate to the neighborhood! That's where ALL the student housing is now; no more Stonebrook.

 

[blott]

LOL..grumpy...remember when they gave him a little "time off" to chear up...

1-800-u can die....

ahh, the good 'ol days...

SFB sucks,

Anyway, all airlines are getting new ID's that say CREW in red. We (XJT) were required to get them about 4 months ago.

Grumpy

Back before Grumpy had his little break, I was a Comm. student at CAA in 1998. Ol' Grumpy got a little bit upset with there being 6 aircraft in and trying to enter the pattern for 9R. His solution was to tell me to "hold" over Bird Island (in lake Harney? I think). Well I said that I didn't know what he was talking about and asked for a vector. Holy Sh1t did he come unglued!!!! he ended up so pissed off that he said to tun out to the North and contact tower for 9L. Yep, Steve Moore and I ended up having a little chat about that one when I got back.

 

[Hovernut]

Negative Maveric, the pattern is full!

Yeah, for grumpy, 3 in the pattern was saturation for him! The old 'hold at bird island' or 'stay clear of class D and circle to the north' were classics of his.

You know Steve's a safety fed for FSDO ORL now, don't you?

Yeah, he left while I was still down there. He was a really cool guy. Actually Steve was one of the only things that were right about the academy circa 98-99. I'm sure the words "China Eastern" will no doubt bring back memories, or nightmares for the CFI's perhaps.

High output, Low content..

The aforementioned inspector renewed my CFI today. He was a nice guy. Hey Hover, I was in you Instrument class way back in October 99. I was the other biker.

After reviewing that message it sounds like it's referencing the thread, when it's actually commenting on an individual mentioned in the thread. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[ShinerBocknabtl]

Grumpy! Thanks for the name. John, doesn't surprise me about Stonebrook with all the partyin that went on there. When you left the academy for the airlines were the instructors as gung-ho as when we went through?

Also, last time I was in the facilities I was pretty impressed with the dress-up they'd done in the ops building. At any rate, no need to ramble on but keep in touch aiight?

[Hovernut]

Shiner, yes, they were still gun-ho, but ready to go! Hey, still wearin' that "Dukes of Hazard" watch? Yeah, it's freaky walking around ops with all the students in our old uniforms, now. All the instructors look like ASA folks now with the siver bars!

Lucky, hey man, you still have my CFI briefing book? Wish I could be down there for Biketoberfest! Gotta come down and fix the Goldwing...it's still at my Mom's in Longwood. Nice to have something to cruise around on when visiting! Yeah, Steve's a good dude. I work with him on occasion at the LAL safety center.

 

[Capn Lucky]

I never borrowed yor briefing book.
