HelliBoy Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the replies, I did end up getting a flight into John Wayne though so no need for a car. I'll be in town for "Flying in the Wire Environment" class on Sat, leavin on the redeye on mon. If anyone in the know would like to suggest a bar/restaurant for Sunday or even Saturday I'm in. I'm going solo so I plan on being bored and hate having to continuously drop my pilots license on the floor in front of pretty girls at the pub. btw- anyone else taking the 'wires' class???

Patrick- 315-868-4901 btw- anyone else taking the 'wires' class??? A 315 number? Where are you at? I was stationed at Fort Drum for 5 years. Heading back up there this weekend to see some friends. My girlfriend bought the tickets before I got a chance to talk to her about Heli-Expo. Leaving Friday, getting back late Monday night. Might stop by Tuesday though... We'll see.

JDHelicopterPilot Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Several of you guys have asked if I will be there. Sadly I have to work. Many of you have said you'd love to see the helicopter I fly. You may be happy to know that N202CF will be on display this year! In case you don't know. Tri-State CareFlight flies Agusta A119K and A109 Power with a A119KE. We are the largest operator of EMS A119s from what I am told. So, check it out and let me know what you think! I looked to see if I had a picture but couldn't find one. JD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suprized it's not going to be below zero. I have many (un)found memories of having to set up patrol bases when it was around -20. I wonder why I was drawn back to CA?

EAGLE1 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Well today was the first day of the fly in. I saw the Tri State A119 on the ramp at LGB which was the staging area. I heard there is going to be 55 helicopters on display. I saw 2 or 3 A139's and 1 S92. Basically several of just about everything you could think of. The flight to the convention center was uneventful and everything was well organized. (if you forget the part about being an hour behind schedule) All in all it was very efficient with a helicopter landing almost every 15 minutes. Be sure to stop by the FLIR booth and say hi to EC120AV8TR and I. We will be there each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldy Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Several of you guys have asked if I will be there. Sadly I have to work. JD OK, Every year LAPD used to hold an "unofficial" competition to see how far out of the city an "on duty" patrol vehicle can get. One day the black and white showed up in Las Vegas, had their picture taken (with the appropriate bag over their heads) and RETURNED back to their patrol area before end of shift. Other units were of course, in on the ploy and were handling calls to keep the Vegas unit available. So, I'm wondering how far you can get that A 119 this weekend? I figure its not even a tank of fuel to get out here... So, sorry you can't make it (wink). Goldy Oh, you might ask whatever happened to those officers (with bag over their heads)...well, they forgot they still had nameplates and badges on, and photos can be blown up.. Oh well, I think they are both Captains now anyway. Goldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC120AV8R Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Goldy, never made it to Vegas, but my old partner and I have a great photo of us with our patrol car in front of the Bear Mountain ski resort, with some very nice snow all around us. We figured we could get from the beach to the snow and back (with photo for proof), and we did. Still had plenty of shift left when we got back. Ahhhh, the old days.

EC120AV8R Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Good point Goldy. I figure the "statute of limitations" was up on this, so I'm safe letting the story out. Besides, the picture of us being "a little" out of our patrol area has circulated for a while. It was about three chiefs ago, so we're good.

Goldy Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 It was about three chiefs ago, so we're good. Yeah, Chiefs come and they go ! I stopped counting Captains about 9 of them ago.. OK, so hook up time: Sunday Feb 22, 2009 Heli-Expo 7 PM until whenever we drop. All VR members welcome, buy your own beer....or buy me a beer, those are your options. Territorial Saloon Inside the Sheraton Park Hotel, just a 2 minute walk from the Convention Center Hope to see you all there, dont be shy. If you see a really big guy walk thru the door, that would be me !! Goldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed in downtown Houston and walked 12 blocks to the convention center each day and night. Downtown Houston at night can get interesting. OK- Dont' forget 7PM Sunday night at the Expo...
