Cheese

Eagle 86:
The crewman's airburst wasn't an accidental discharge, more of a dishonorable discharge!

Inflight lunches in the Huey could be entertaining - wait until the PNF was raising the cup of drink to his lips, and suddenly encounter turbulence (read: waggle the cyclic) to see it all on his lap.

But make sure you had already finished your own drink first!

Those of you who have been to the Norwegian Oil Rigs and had tasted some of the finer quisine there will no doubt have come across "Raspeballer". I believe the english community seem to love these delights from the scandinavian world, because everytime i seem to stop for lunch at a rig and there is an english rigger there, we always get to hear the same response. "Not these effing glue balls again"

As for cheese, you can eat all you want when the AP is on in an L2, but i have to say that stilton rocks and the more mature the better (reminds me a bit of the old wife really.. ) but if it aint mature enough, it crumbles and gets stuck every where and that is not good. because hidden stilton in the fabric of your nice helicopter is a big no no!!

But smoked salmon sandwiches and crab pate is a big yes, but eating on an ILS approach is also a big no

Safe eating whilst flying

Holy Shi%

Reminds me of the time i was out flying and after approx 1 hour i was busting for a pee!

Seeing a open field i landed and got out, standing next to the aircraft with the frictions on and my passenger sitting patiently.

Not wanting to be away from the aircraft with rotors turning etc i was just near the engine area pilot side (R22) Pheww that feels good!! looking around and taking in the scenery etc as i give the BIG fella a shake. i notice something move some were over my right shoulder!

HOLY sh%& bat man!!! sitting some 50 metres away was a Male Lion!! yes i said Male Lion,,,,LOL


Fastest take off you ever seen...

Rotaryman, noting your location as Australia it is probable that it was not a lion at all but a dingo in a wig.

But back to the thread, doing a cheese toast in the jetpipe works after landing. Melts it down nicely, but don't get distracted by the phone and forget it. The smoke is enough to cause alarm in the tower

We used the aft tranny on Chinooks for cooking our cans of C-Rations....but leaving one on too long without punching a wee hole in the top could be interesting.

Trundling along over a bad neighborhood near the Cambodia/Laos/Vietnam border....a very loud report issued from the rear of the aircraft. I immediately initiated a Chinook version of evasive action....usually begun with both pilots shrinking up to just boots and helmets while hiding behind a couple of very small pieces of armor plate....and inquired what damage we had and if anyone in the back had been hit.

Crewie hesitated a few seconds...confirmed no damage....and no one hurt....to be asked...in very cool, calm, measured tones...(translated....words rattling out like a modified machinegun....in a very high shrill pitch...) just what the heck was that?

The reply....as the crewie walked up to the cockpit licking his fingers...."Beans and Franks, I think, Sir!"

The Lion King..

G-Day! Moosp:

You assume to much,, it was a Lion, left behind along with a few others from the days when they used to run a Lion park in a area here in NSW called African Lion Safari at Wallacia.

I believe that a few still live out there....



oh now pass the Cheese and Bickies.. thats a good chap!
