vertibird 22nd December 2009 00:44

well....
 
Obviously my login is the coolest...



I had one and I loved it.

rickshaw1 22nd December 2009 05:58

My name brings back the ever so popular time in the early 60's driving one of Mr. Sikorsky's earlier design efforts around Guantanamo Bay as a flying taxi between Leeward and Mainside by way of the mine fields. Rickshaw1 was my call sign.
Ahhh, the good old days!:ok:
The old I get, the better they were.
Forty years later I'm still at it but in a 206

Brilliant Stuff 23rd December 2009 13:50

Vertibird, how cool is that toy.:ok:

Letsby Avenue 23rd December 2009 21:04

The best and the most original? That'll be mine then:ok::ok::ok:

poppahymen 25th December 2009 01:55

poppahymen because that is what I like to do:ok:

Arm out the window 26th December 2009 03:41


'arm out the window', tells me of a kool kat image,
Not so cool in the style sense, that's for sure, but mine just sprang to mind when thinking about my earliest operational helo days in the Huey, nice big window you could pull down and stick the arm out in the breeze, or grab onto the wire cutter support frame.
You can stick your arm out in some other types I've flown, but none with such freedom as the Iroquois - what a great machine, a statement I know many will agree with.

Whirlygig gets my vote as one of the best names, and crab's is certainly a good one too.

oldbeefer 27th December 2009 08:24

Cos I've been instructing since '76. However, having just finally retired, perhaps I should change it to 'exoldbeefer'?

XV666 27th December 2009 08:39

What else could I use :ok:

CGWRA 27th December 2009 10:13

My initials....well minus the manditory 'C'. When I can afford my own machine I have it reserved to use as my Canadian registration.

Vertical Freedom 20th February 2012 00:57

Top of the World
 
VERTICAL FREEDOM is the coolest cause that's what a Helciopter gives You - 'Vertical Freedom' :ok:

Arnie Madsen 20th February 2012 05:55

Actually my favorite is not the name (griffothefog) but his location always makes me smile.... sandinmecrackstill .... sounds like he is sitting on a nice beach somewhere telling us a bunch of true stories ....

As far as my name .... it is based on the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger wishes he had a son just like me .... and Virginia Madsen wishes she had a husband just like me.

Which just goes to prove that some Hollywood folks can have a larger ego than the UK offshore helicopter pilots.

Flyting 20th February 2012 08:53

this has to be the quote of the year.....

:D :D :D

"...a larger ego than offshore heli pilots"?!! IMPOSSIBLE!!!

The story behind 'Fox3WheresMyBanana' has to be interesting... :}

farsouth 20th February 2012 19:50

I don't know about the coolest, but the least cool and most offensive PRUNE name I have seen is the poster at reply #105, along with the similarly named "Buster ....."

chopcat 21st February 2012 07:33

CC
 
Chop Cat!
The most effectual Chop Cat!
Who's intellectual close friends get to call him CC.
Providing it's with dignity.

Chop Cat!
The indisputable leader of the gang.
He's the boss, he's a pip, he's the championship.
He's the most tip top,
Chop Cat.

Yes he's a chief, he's a king,
But above everything,
He's the most tip top,
Chop Cat

Big Duke 6 21st February 2012 22:03

My name is the call sign for the lead helicopter in Apocalypse Now, scene where Duvall play's Wagner before the attack !!

"Big Duke 6 to Eagle Thrust 7 ,put on heading 270 ,assume attack formation."

More offensive than Leon Jabachjabicz? Oh the insult, oh the outrage...

OneBelowAbsoluteZero 22nd February 2012 09:15

A pathetic attempt! :-)

Arnie Madsen 23rd February 2012 00:31

.... OneBelowAbsoluteZero ........ That is certainly a CooooL name all right .... :):)

grumpytroll 23rd February 2012 02:25

sort of cool
 
First, I had a Vertibird around 1970 and I loved that thing. I played with it for hours and hours. It had that sling load hook...loved it.

Now as for cool names, you might not consider grumpytroll cool, however the reason I have the name: not only do I fly helicopters for a living but I also own a brewery, restaurant and pizzeria which I have mentioned on the site before. so check out www.thegrumpytroll.com.

cheers
