To our American friends, if you have ever heard the Molson Canadian Ad from up here in Canada eh, here is my recital......
Hey;
I am not a stiff wing, or a fixed wing,
And I don’t always sleep in a tent, or fuel from a drum.
I don’t eat at McDonalds or own a Mercedes
And I don’t know Ronny, or Kate, or Brad from Canadian Helicopters
Although I’m certain they’re all really, really good pilots.
I have a receptionist, not a dispatcher.
I am a sensitive man who feels every vibration, good and bad.
I hold a cyclic, not a stick, and I hold it proudly between my legs.
I speak about mechanical wind, not upper winds,
And I pronounce it “hover”, not “hoover”, “hover”!
I can proudly sew my fling wings on my flight suit.
I believe in ground effect, not airspeed,
Confined areas, not runways,
And that the Jet Ranger is a proud and noble machine.
I don’t have flaps, I have pitch and power.
I live for the smell of Jet Fuel, and can drink from an oil can.
I suffer from a permanent case of itchy hemorrhoids, yet I remain professional.
I believe a helicopter demonstrates diversity, is as loud as a KingAir, and is the
best part of aviation.
MY NAME IS LONGRANGER, AND I AM A HELICOPTER PILOT!!!!!
Thank you. :)
