Francis Meyrick Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 So, what do your helicopter wives all say at the breakfast table? Mine floors me, with the gentle word. All the time. The woman is wicked. So I'm enjoying reading a book of buddhist poetry, called "The Clouds should know me by now" (Red Pine). Innocently, I remarked to wifey: "What a beautiful title for a book". Instant reply (Scottish accent) " You should ken, 'cos your head is in them often enough". Say, What!? 1 Quote

Fliesbecauseracecar Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 MIne? Well this morning I made the mistake of telling her on the way out the door at 6:45, that I was looking forward to a slow weekend of relaxing and a hoppy beverage or two in the evening. My beautiful wife "You should have plenty of time, and won't that cold beer taste good after mulching the beds and putting in the plants I am picking up this afternoon." Quote
Flying Pig Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 ^Good news… that means you don't have one! 2 Quote
Little Red 22 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Heligirl03, I think the OP means female mates that don't currently possess a pilot or student pilot certificate. The question for my hubby is always the same, "Have you preflighted yet?" Quote
Pohi Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I've been cheating on you for the last year while you have been on hitch. It's time for you to find your own place and I'm taking your dog. Quote
adam32 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I've been cheating on you for the last year while you have been on hitch. It's time for you to find your own place and I'm taking your dog. More often then not...But add in, "And I've cleaned out the bank accounts". Quote
rotornut67 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Fly safe and let me know when you are done, I love you...geez, am I in the minority here? But at least once a month she will ask..."have you flown enough to make the heli payment this month"? LOL Quote
palmfish Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Will you stop at the market on your way home from work and get some eggs? Oh, im going out for drinks tonight so you're on your own for dinner. And the dryer is making a funny noise and the ABS light on the Volvo stays on all the time. And... Quote
Wally Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I've been cheating on you for the last year while you have been on hitch. It's time for you to find your own place and I'm taking your dog. AT least that was face-to-face.First wife out and the kids at school when the marshal served the papers.This is a tough life for those who don't get to go flying every day, I fault my ex- for the manner, not the fact. She did me a favor, I'm not smart enough to fold a losing hand. Now, I have an understanding- I can fly helicopters as long as I want but I can't ride motorcycles. Someday I won't do either one and that will be all right by me, someday. 1 Quote
Azhigher Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Good morning, fly safe, I love you. Stuff like that. Flying puts food on the table, pays all the bills, paid for her Master's degree, and generally keeps me happy as I don't have to get a bogus 9-5 office job sooooo, it's all good. Quote
Carbonduc Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 When are you going to have enough hours to get paid to do this thing you like? Quote
heligirl03 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 He says, "Where and how much did you fly last night?" To which I usually reply, "Where and how much did YOU fly last night?" Thankfully, we've planned vacation this spring!! 4 Quote

palmfish Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 People fly helicopters on vacation? Why would anyone want to do that? :-) 1 Quote

Francis Meyrick Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) What is a helicopter wife? Ah! DEFINITION: "A long-suffering, patient female, who merely sighs, shakes head sadly, and comforts the cat, after Normal Event" Define "Normal Event". DEFINITION: Day 1 OFF after 7 ON, and 50 plus flight hours.Breakfast time. Peace on earth. Bleary eyed husband. Not with it. At all. Brain cells stuttering. (previously tried to microwave coffee cup by opening refrigerator; subsequently tried to put milk carton away in microwave) (seriously) Helicopter sound is heard in distance, approaching steadily.Helicopter husband behaves as follows: says: "Oh, cool!"spills coffeeknocks over chairsteps on catgoes flying out back door to see Sound familiar?

Francis Meyrick Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 (I'm waiting for it, waiting for it) (oh, no. No. Nooooo....) Argh! Is some wise-ass gonna ask: "What is a helicopter husband?" Quote
