Riddle

[Longhorn]

Are you sure he went to Freedom? It sounds like something he would do. He was so full of BS most of the time. I remember when we were sitting around talking about leaving and he came in from his so called training at Eagle. He said that he was in crj training and would be done in a few weeks. Problem was, it was 1998 and they did not have crj's. It does not suprise me that he would do something like the freedom air thing. So, for every freedom air guy in the future I turn the jumpseat down to I can blame it on D.O. not to memtion many other reasons.

Here's a semi funny Dave O story. Did an csel prog with him, went up and blah blah blah, doing xctry **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**, he told me that my instructor taught me it all wrong and he told me i was gonna fail even though i was exactly where i was supposed to be and he just got done praising me on my soft field takeoffs, anyways, out of no where i radio DAB approach, called in that i was returning to DAB. Dave was like, what are you doing? I said screw this, im not gonna continiue this flight with you if ive already failed. I can't stand you anways. So we aland...go into instructor bay and start yelling at eachother, then my instructor Corey Adams walks in and calms me down, has a meeting with Dave. blah blah blah.. ..he's like dave was'nt gonna fail you blah blah blah. I was like i refuse to fly with that prick. So he incompleted me, prog card back in, 1 week later on the prog board.....Im up with DAve O again. I walk to reschedule the flight cause i refused to fly with him and guess whos in the scheduling office...Dave, he was getting me on with someone else too...he refused to fly with me anyways, we walked out to the vending area to have a talk and he was like, mark i wasn't gonna fail you blah blah blah, just putting pressure on you to see how you react...then he had the balls to tell me that i was a great pilot but my attitude sucked....I think it was partially him as well.

I heard a story once that Dave O was giving a commercial stage 1 check.. During the soft field T.O. in the 172, the stall horn went off during initial power up.. Dave started screaming at the guy, telling him he was a commercial pilot applicant and that it was totally unacceptable.

What a jerk off he was/is..

Are you Riddlers from DB?
I started at PRC in 99, and graduated in 02, but don't know any of those names. Good luck to you all ;o)

How about good ole Tom Kim? Mr. Roll a Seminole, twice. I don't think I knew anyone who could stand that guy (I couldn't thats for sure). Most of DB's IPs were pretty cool, I feel I am a good pilot cause of them.

Anyone have any contact info for Chris Pilliardy or Jan Palandino (sp?)? First is w/ ASA as a RJ F/O, Jan is still w/ ACA last I heard in the J-41.

I saw some really stupid things happen at riddle. One time up in the M20J and saw one of the 172's doing rolls....my instructor and i snuck up on them to see if we could read an N # but didn't get close enough cause they saw us and kept turning so we couldn't see it. Made me a tad nervous as i was doing CSEL and had to fly those **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** 172's on my xctrys and crap. Who knows how much engine damage I.E. No inverted oil pans and GYRO damage done in a non aerobatic. Just stuff to think about
