patrol pilot

i know theres some patrol pilot positions open however i believe its with the police or highway patrol. where i'm from (not there) that means you need to be an officer first. look into it. i think they posted on climbto350.com within recent few months.

Traffic watch jobs in LA

Hi,

I don't know which part of Louisiana that you live in, but when I was a freshly minted commercial pilot in the Lake Charles area, I flew skydivers for two seperate organizations. This has been many years ago but the opportunity to do this kind of work might still be around in that area.

Just an idea. It's fun flying. The pay isn't much but at least your being paid while you build some time.

Good Luck & Blue Skies,

BusDriver,

Just left LCH about a yr ago. I know of no skydiving gigs there. Not for the past 4 yrs. Still fly a slowtation part-time there and know of nothing. There is a outfit over at BPT that does skydiving. I think they have a King Air. As for LCH its fairly much a dead place to find any aviation work, unless your intrested in instructing. The person that asked about pipeline patrol may want to check with the (cant remember the name of airport) airport south of ranyes and east of jennings. They do pipeline patrol out of there.

Airmedplt,

Were you flying the slowtation for an airmed company or for someome else in LCH?

I did a few flights in N242WT years ago with Burton and didn't know if maybe that was who you flew for. Great group of people.

Are you from the LCH area originally ? I agree with it being kinda "dead" on the aviation jobs there. That's why I left there back in 1989.

Hey, I thought I was the only pilot in LCH. It's pretty dead here. I did the CFI thing at Chennault for a few years until their insurance doubled. I also flew a Metro out of Regional but that has also desolved.

rk,

Shoot me a "pm" one day to let me know where you are flying at and where you did fly at in LCH.

I recently flew an Airbus into CWF (Chennault) to get a modification done. Looks like there has been many changes in the past few years around Lake Charles.

Send me some money and I'll send you some Tony's or a Turducken from Abe's. Great stuff.
Last year during Christmas season, I boarded the Metro and it was packed with about 150 cooked turduckens from Abe's. It was hard not to break one of them open and eat it on the way to CVG.

LCH

Guys.....

I know what you mean about missing the food. Every time I fly a plane to CWF....I have to make a run to SteamBoat Bills to load up on Crawfish. Then I pass by Abe's on the day we leave town to get some Crawfish Boudin. Man that stuff is good.

Airmed,

I know of PHI very well. Runs in the family. I now live in Charlotte, so I know what you mean about bringing a little bit of LA home with me on every return from a trip down there.

I haven't lived in LA in years, but I have almost all my relatives are
there and I get back to visit as often as I can. Born in LCH but raised about 20 miles north of there. (South Beauregard).

Contraband Days are coming up and I wish I could drag my boat down there to enjoy the festivities this year. One of these days.

"Blue Skies" and safe trips everyone.
