I-VIEW

Greetings VF,

Excellent pictures as always...I swear you must be working for the Nepal Tourist Board

Pray tell, what's the story with I-VIEW which looks like it needs more than just spit and polish to be airworthy again?

best...

D o T

(don't ask me how, but PPrune did it, made D o T into ***)

Free Willy

VF, the picture of the youngster in the green jacket, and more particularly, the concerned look on his face, suggested that he might be prime recruiting material for helicopter pilot school.

As the ABC Correspondent Harry Reasoner wrote in part:

"That's why being a helicopter pilot is so different from being an airplane pilot, and why in generality airplane pilots are open, clear-eyed, buoyant, extroverts. And helicopter pilots are brooders, introspective anticipators of trouble.
They know if something bad has not happened it is about to."

Hey JD....of Plankies errr well I can't say? but the later part of Your comment sorry I can't say I agree; I for One have a positive outlook, though having had 2 & a half engine failures I am not anticipating trouble, though trouble has been known to find me am reservedly bold & ready to do whatever it takes to succeed (safely) always lookin' for a laugh, most often times at myself, as many don't larf at, nor get my jokes so I'm a self-entertainer

Reasoner

Reasoner was an ABC correspondent and wrote a piece in 1971 re Helicopter pilots in Vietnam. This particular quote was in a section of the article that was black humor. Here is the link:
