Mr Con, Nick Lappos is a Vietnam vet and more recently a test pilot for Sikorsky, and the program manager for the S-92. He has forgotten more about helicopter engineering than I will learn if I live to be 95 (which is next week, actually). He writes lucidly and entertainingly (for example in Helicopter World a couple of years ago; I didn't know him from Adam and wrote a letter to them saying how interesting the article was). Religions have been started that worship lesser deities.
But, and here's the killer punchline, he's one of us. He gets involved in debates on PPRuNe. He takes the time to seriously answer questions from forms of aviation life that would lose arm-wrestling competitions with an amoeba two falls out of three (me). He has a sense of humour. He comes over as a thoroughly nice chap.
So, I suspect Mr Lee has taken the opportunity to satirize the awe in which many PPRuNers hold him. Ain't going to make no never mind to Nick. Satirize away, Rich!

Rich, I do thank you for describing my limits. Thanks also for continuing to allow me to print my own money, which is how I manage to keep afloat all these years!
Hilico, the check is in the mail, you are now my Public Relations Department!

Nick,
Damn, we missed one!
MD600 Driver (Steve),
Hello! Yes, I work and bake (or half-baked) in Mesa. I am a remain a proud employee of The Boeing Company (nee McDonnell Douglas, nee Hughes) the most ethical company in the World (with the exception of two misfits who stole rocket secrets from Lockheed Martin).
Hilico,
Happy Birthday!

Where does one start?
Okay.
First, why is Lu not mentioned?
Second, I only let his letter into Helicopter World because he's bigger than I am.
And third, why did he never beat me up after I captioned one photo from his flight test - pictured while standing in front of the S-92 - with the words:
"High, wide and handsome, and that's just the pilot" ???

Hilico,
I think you will find Rich Lee is very similar to Nick in his elevated status in the pilot world, and boy can he fly ! But his check rides are quite hard work !
Rich,
Hope things are well in your world, hope to see you over here soon.

Rich: "Well, it has been whispered, but has yet to be confirmed, that Nick and Lu are the same person"
Could be true - have they ever been seen in the same room together ? Maybe a Multiple Personality thing - perhaps he/they shamble along streets shouting at him/themself

Robbo,
The truth is out! I have dual personalities, but Lu is not the second one. I am sometimes Nichole Kidman, and I am working on how to be both personalities at once, so I can while away the hours doing more things than just posting on pprune!

Steve and Hover Bovver
Good hearing from you! I hope you are behaving yourselves over there.
Nick
Nichole (Nick) Kidman is you? I am in real trouble!
Robbo
The truth is that Lu is really a NSA/NASA computer of nearly infinite intelligence.
To the Other Guy (Not Hilico)
Yes, I am aware that Nick is a Viet Nam Vet. I do not know where you got the idea that I was making fun of Viet Nam Vets. I assume you did not bother to read all of the thread so have derived an invalid conclusion from incomplete premisis.
I do thank you for the letter though and assure you that I am sensitive to the issue of all Veterans from all wars. Heck some of my best friends are VN Vets! I flew with a guy who was in Vietnam once. He was the guy in the book who was flying scouts out of Poon Tang Air Base in the Bite Me Province. He intended to cream an enemy position near Sum Yung Guy which was just over the ridge from Who Flung Poo and just south of Dum Fuc. On the way he took intense fire from a hill near U Suc Long. He told me that the Snakes destroyed everything on the first pass so he diverted to Long Dong and proceeded to Fuc Yu.
