U.of Alabama flight dept...

[svcta]

Anyone have a steer on how to get a hold of someone there? I've heard that they were recently looking for some occasional Astra contract work. I'd like to put my hat in the ring for day trips.

G-100/IA-1125 typed and current, 2500 or so total, 1000+ jet.

Thanks a bunch, gang.

Hi!

Auburn's is better. I'd avoid the Tide like the plague.

Note: I have to admit I might be slightly biased because of the fact that I yell "War Eagle!" at football games ;-)!

war by god eagle!!

 

[svcta]

okay.....not helpful...unless Auburn has the a/c I'm interested in flying. Do they?

 

[svcta]

by the way....do you know how red "war by god eagle" sounds? That's worse than UGA's "hairy dogs".

War danm eagle!

No, that's even worse.

Yes, they do....KAUO...two CE-500...one is a ultra (560) and the other is a 550 (II).

They still might have a King Air or the such still in operation.

I know the old CP of the Alabama Operation. I don't think it will help. He has no contact with them now.

 

[svcta]

thanks at least for the info....

regarding the earlier posts.....i was really only kidding...it looked kind of mean in retrospect.

 

[TigerDriver]

"hairy dogs".

no that bunch of inbreeds says it like this: "the dawgs"... I swear to God in heaven if I ever come across that piece of Sh$% animal (UGA whatever number they are one) I will kick it in the teeth.

back to the original question, last I say U of A had some kind of citation model, Auburn's King Air was sold back to the army several years back when they got their citations on line.

No, it is an Astra....no matter what anyone at Gulfstream tells you.

They have real airplanes in Auburn?

SVCTA, if it doesn't work out for you in God's country (Tuscaloosa), I hear that they're looking for pilots in Tigger town for their huge cropduster dept. - if you can stand the "smells of nature".

 

[svcta]

thanks for the laughs and info.....how would one best get a hold of A.U.'s people to get them my info?

Thanks again.

If they are hiring it will be listed on the Auburn University web site somewhere under employment opportunities.

[svcta]

thanks, I'm really only looking for day trips on a contract basis, but, I'll look for a way to get some of my info spread around.

Based on the recent academic fraud uncovered at Auburn, I'd say "Fear the Dumb" is more appropriate.

 

[aufan]

Auburn is not hiring. And how is Alabama's Astra gonna work out this year when they have to get into and out of shorter fields for recruiting???? Good luck!!! As far as Bama-Boy,I will take those "smells of nature" over those red-necks in Tuscalooooser any day! Bama may have a bigger plane but AU has more. UA just wishes they could actually graduate people like AU.

Funny this has reared it's ugly head again. Must be getting close to football season huh? Here's a similar thread from just a few weeks ago that also got off track: http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?t=82019 It got good near the end of the thread too!

It's simply a matter of Culture vs Agriculture. Always has and always will be. Fear the Dumb and Roll Tide!

 

[FL350]

I'll take agriculture any day of the week. They have a lot more fun and apparently have a better football team too.

 

[aufan]

If culture is what you call that ugly campus then so be it.....we WILL take our agriculture(and our football team!!!!).....before you say "fear the dumb", you better check stats first...as of the last 4 years I guess "Fear the Dumb" IS the only saying you got to go on though....

You're grasping barner. That's the first time I've heard The University of Alabama campus referred to as ugly. Hey by the way, were you watching that nationally televised game a few years ago at auburn when the barn on campus caught fire? Good stuff!
Congrats on the four in a row. What do you have to say about the academic fraud going on at the barn? You're not a sociology major are you? :laugh:
I quit. This is a flying forum. There is plenty of Bama/barn venom flowing on the sports boards. Fly safe!

 

[FL350]

Alabama has an ugly campus. You can count that as the second time. Quitting huh? Like your O-line did last year in the iron bowl?
