"The list"

[jonjuan]

Too funny. I can only imagine. Then I get snapped back to reality when I have an Ops Agent tell me that until the door is closed, she owns my Aircraft and its up to her who rides my jumpseat, not me. What the hell happened?

What happened? You forgot to tape up your colostomy bag.

Yawn. Move on, geezers.

I beg to differ, this thread took a definite turn for the better. A rare and pleasant occurrence. Who can't relate to and/or appreciate Dan's story about his dad and the Corsair? Good stuff.

Do you suppose any young Aviators will ever tell stories about when they met this really cool Pilot named "jonjuan" and how he inspired them with his great tales of flying......

I don't.....

 

[fob727]

How'd that work out for her?

808 is right. I've seen too many young 'hot shots' not give a hoot about the history and living legends all around them in aviation. If you ignore what these guys have to say, you're not only missing out on some valuable information and priceless characters, you're a moron too. You should just leave the industry with your backpack and iPod dragging down the concourse behind you!
