Pilot on Idol

[Ailerongirl]

So in watching American Idol this evening I learnt that Eric Yoder, 25, of St.Louis, MO is a commercial pilot. Simon Cowell keeps likening him to Clay Aiken (minus the personality.) It'll be interesting to see how far he goes.....

So in watching American Idol this evening I learnt that Eric Yoder, 25, of St.Louis, MO is a commercial pilot.

Ya learnt it, huh?? GOOD on ya!

According to the FAA Website...

ERIC BYRON YODER of LAGRANGE GEORGIA has:

>> COMMERCIAL PILOT Certificate with AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LAND, AIRPLANE MULTIENGINE LAND, and INSTRUMENT AIRPLANE Ratings. (DOI : 04/22/2002)

>> FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR Certificate with AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE and INSTRUMENT AIRPLANE ratings. (DOI : 04/17/2002) EXPIRES: 30 Apr 2004.

>> GROUND INSTRUCTOR Certificate with ADVANCED rating. (DOI : 02/22/2002)

His Second Class Medical was issued 05/2003 and he MUST WEAR CORRECTIVE LENSES.


ERIC WILLIAM YODER of SULLIVAN ILLINOIS has:

Give them a call and see who has the better voice.

According to this, probably not.

What would people be surprised to learn about you?
That I’m a pilot…people can’t comprehend it when I tell them…or that I sing…only my close friends know…I’m not a person who sings all the time.

 

[deadstick]

I could go another few years NOT hearing that name. I'm glad I don't watch "reality tv." BTW, he's the IL guy. "Commercial Pilot" is a little more impressive than "unemployed CFI?"

 

[Ailerongirl]

What other talents do you have?
Flying.

Flying is a talent? I thought it was a combination of learned skill and knowledge

If you don’t make it on AMERICAN IDOL, what will you do?
Continue to look for a job in my field.

Ahhh so apparently deadstick was right!

How did you manage to do that search? I can't figure out how on the site.

 

[jergar999]

There's one on the FAA website and one at www.landings.com that is a little easier to navigate.

First you have to identify yourself...

I still think William Hung was the best ever.

Did anybody see him on SportsCenter last week singing She Bangs at the CAL halftime? It was hilarious.

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

 

[Ailerongirl]

I didn't think he'd make it thorugh, and sure enough Eric Yoder didn't make it into the top 12.....back to being just a pilot I guess!

 

[spitfiremk8]

Can never go wrong with a name like William Hung.

She will bang this time!

 

[urflyingme?!]

I had a teacher named Dick Long. Lets the middle school giggles begin

 

[Typhoon1244]

I had a teacher named Dick Long.

I had a elderly female English teacher who, when annoyed, would announce "I'm growing a little testy!"

"Really," we thought. "Where?"

(Get it? Testy? Teste? Balls?)

 

[redd]

I once knew of a guy named Richard Head.....What were his parents thinking?!?!??

 

[Ailerongirl]

Apparently there's quite a few of them around! My mother used to work with one. (He tried to go by Rich!) Everytime I'd visit her at the office I'd start giggling....until I got smacked upside the head!

 

[goaliemn]

I had a hockey coach named "Dick Puffer"

And what did he name his son? Peter.
