Talking

I remember that young bloke at the RACNSW. He was one of the nicest and most enthusiastic blokes you'd meet. I must admit having a bit of a chuckle about the clobber, coz he could have put the money he spent on the Gentex and suit towards his PPL.

Saw him a few years later working in the pilot shop near Fast Eddies...

Wonder what he's up to now?

Not as funny as the (very young, possibly new) QF Capt that walked out of Cordony Bros Hairdressing in Macquarie Centre (nowhere near the airport), in full regalia after a dropping in to have his locks freshly coiffed. Looks around to see if anyone notices him, then coolly swans off into the sunset.

Young Jarsephine absolutely p!ssed herself with laughter at the sight, then made a rather unsavoury comment to me afterwards. Of course I kept a straight face

OK abnormal, take a bex and lie down before your head explodes.

Your ramblings make no sense.

But I guess it's all too much for my narrow minded little brain.

Either that or the sun must be hot in your part of the world.

That's my self important opinion. Get over it.

Fool.

P_H_F, oh dear....

Someone calls your bluff and all you can do is name call and run to mummy - crying.

One might regard even the deliberate miss-spelling of my nickname a sure sign that for you having a decent discussion or indeed an argument about any subject is well beyond your feeble grasp. It is such a pity that the education standards these days do not reflect what is actually required of the students once they branch out into life. You only seem to reinforce that point.

Yes indeed the sun is hot here and the flying even hotter, but it hasn't frazzled my brain enough to not be able to hold a discussion about something without being juvenile enough to resort to straight-out name calling, oh, or was that merely suggestion?

You be the judge P_H_F, but for once keep your opinion to yourself, nobody in the real world is interested in that kind of small-minded mob mentality that seems to have infected these boards of late. Like sheep some of you, with nothing positive to say about anything.

"Cringe-worthy", no less....

Wiz, I have no opinion on your arse either way.... When are you gonna come russle the big, brown, not-really-wooly-but-got-plenty-big-horns sheep around these parts...?

Dawnie, very much chilled, ta. I was just proving a point that many can throw stones, but not take them being dished back out at them in return.

It worked, and it's over from this end.

Cyber beer, P_H_F? ;}

Thanks Hugh,
You're right...he is one of the nicest guys around...he ended up working in that small pilots shop near Proflite for a while then, as well as teaching martial arts (I think he's a black belt in something violent!!) and ended up being a stuntman of some repute working out of Fox studios.
Goes to show eh?

Hehehe!!

For such a trivial matter it sure has some stirred up.

P_H_F

I hope you don't spend your entire career there (on the file I mean) and get to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

As a groundie, IMHO if you earned 'em, wear 'em anywhere you please. Just don't drop - I hate FOD!

But, just remember, if you walk into the pub/dero club with 'em on and I'm there - mine's a Hahn Premium from the tap or a Crownie bottle please

TT


Life is not every breath you take, but what takes your breath away.

Knew a pilot at a certain outback charter company who insisted on wearing flying gloves. Can't afford for your hands to slip off the controls of that high performance Party at a critical moment!

Hi Boys/ngirls

Have to agree the lad definately erred, but that's all part of growing up. You live You learn. No doubt in a few years he will also look back and chuckle at his own misguided courting techniques.

The big question is....."DID HE SCORE ???"


With Love

The big question is....."DID HE SCORE ???"
...and then, could he have done it without the uniform?

Dawn Raid,

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking such thoughts when I saw a photo of a certain parachute pilot beneath that helmet. (!)

On a more general note, why can't he wear his uniform where he wants, so long as it doesn't breach a company policy/rule or whatever, which I doubt it would since the said person is not yet employed. He'll inevitably find out that the novelty wears off and becomes a nuiscance. If not for anything else, at least it's some mild variation and possibly amusement for those surrounding him...

Wonder if it is the same guy I saw at an airport not so long ago.

Nice uniform, all the trimmings, chatting to a young lady trying to impress.

She asked him "so what do you fly" he replied, "see that BIG green plane over there, the one with FOUR engines, that is a C -130". pause "Well I fly a C-150"

Also Reminds me of the old question.

How do you tell a pilot at a party?

You dont he tells you!
