New to the Forums

[Naes213]

Hello,

 

Since I couldn't find a specific area for new guy introductions, this place seemed suitable.

 

My name is Sean, I earned my rotorcraft private certificate in 2008 and took a nice long break to join the Army as a UH60 maintainer/crewchief. I finally ETS'd in June of 14 and now I'm a full time student at PCC Oregon while training for my commercial/instrument rotorcraft ratings at Hillsboro Aviation.

 

I figured finding an active helicopter forum would be in my best interest and this one looks appealing.

 

Thanks!

Well, looks can be deceiving. But welcome anyway This actually is a pretty cool forum, populated by some very unique...umm, characters. Good luck with your ratings! Lots of interesting flying goes on up in that area of the country.

[Francis Meyrick]

Welcome! Break a leg!

 

Just don't listen to a word I say, and you'll be alright.

NR said "characters" and he is so right.

Okay, Aeroscuttle, I gotta ask you this, Mister Character

 

: what IS that dangerous looking Heath Robinson funkle thing lurking in your avatar? I mean, it can't fly, surely? What, you actually SIT in that contraption and take to the endangered skies? Never! Or is it one of those Bowflex muscle developers for emerging, post pubescent former altar boys trying desperately to grow beards and biceps?

Is there a hidden message here? A statement? A confession, even? Subliminal communication on a lower level?

 

Just idly wonderin'....

 

 

PS: @ NAES 32...no, 12...., sorry 213! Don't mind us, we do this sort of thing all the time. Avbug will come trotting along shortly, he enjoys taking offense, and then we all pick on him. It's kind of a forum cultural thing. Sorta.

Since you asked, my avatar is a Russian design "helicopter in a suitcase". As Elmer Fudd would say..."Those Wascally Wussians"

[Francis Meyrick]

Wicked Wooskies?

A suitcase helicopter???? Do you own one? I want one too! So bad!

Talk about bragging rights. Imagine chatting up some floozy in a bar. No more: “Sweetheart, do you want to see my etchings?” Instead: “Do you want to see my suitcase helicopter?”

(Or, after a few drinks: “Hey, honey….! HE-HE-HE…! Do you want to go for a RIDE in my suitcase?”) Un-be-lievable. Imagine casually rolling up to LAX International with one of those. Just for the sheer unadulterated hell of it. Sneakily place it on the metal detector…. RINGGGG! That would give Security a caniption. Probably evacuate the whole Terminal. Cool…

 

Awe-some. Whatever will they think of next? A handbag Rottweiler? (“They rushed this guy into the E.R., but he was in a really bad way. Turned out he tried to snatch this lady’s handbag, but little did he know… etc, etc.”)

 

Is it any wunda those wicked Wooskies dwink lots of Wodka? Imagine being the factory TEST PILOT for one of those things? The proud inventor would call in Wladimir, and say: “Wladimir, today is your lucky day! You get to fly my new zuitcase helicopter!” What would Wladimir think to himself? I know what I’d think. Brave Wooskie. I think I’d be trying to be making an excooskie.

 

Hummmm.....

 

[aeroscout]

I guess it's a little better than a trunk monkey !

[Nearly Retired]

I think Wladimir would have to drink a lot of wodka before flying said zuitcase helicoper.

@ Aeroscuttle.... that's dumb. That line's never gonna work. How can I be sitting at that bar, and say to that abovementioned luscious floozy:

 

"Sweetheart, do you want to see my Monkey?"

 

...without getting smacked in the visage?

 

Huh!?

 

(Never mind, asking her if she wants to go for a RIDE on my.... you get the problem, right??)

Haha, thanks for the warm welcome.

Welcome! This place is the bomb diggity.

 

Good move comin' here. Read lots and be a sponge.

Hello,

 

I am new here too. I am looking for plenty of advisers and to find people with a passion for flying like i do. I've been working as a pilot for a few years now. We don't have girls pilots around here. Also, I have to improve my english to be able to train in America. That is like a dream come true.

@ Ali818

 

(oops...)

 

 

 

It's all Aeroscout's fault! He started it! Don't mind the "wascally Wussians" and the "Wicked Wooskies" bits. We know the Russians are not really Rascally. Or Wicked. Or drink Wodka.

 

Much.

 

Or are you by any chance proud to be a Wicked Russian who drinks lots of Wodka?

 

I think you'll have to post a photo, so we can all decide. If you're wicked. Or not.

 

 

PS: @ aeroscuttle I think Lindsey just implied you, Sir, might be a "diggety bomber". How does that feel? How do you do it? Especially the "diggety" part? I'm curious. I was raised an Altar Boy, so you have to bear with me.

I like you.

[Francis Meyrick]

 

I like you.

Uh-oh. There goes the neighborhood.

 

Shhh.... don't tell anybody. It'll spoil my image. Speaking of image, I have decided, after much soul searching, to change my avatar to a self portrait. That's me in my alternate uniform. I think some people call that "coming out"? I hope you like it.

 

PS: You can see how much I struggle with my weight and balance calculations. I tried doing a steep pull up one day, but that was BAD idea.

 

PPS: before Aeroscout asks, yes, smart-ass, I DO keep my sandwiches up there.

They have a habit of being very impolite and unfriendly over there, that's for sure.

[Flying Pig]

Or babbling on and on about rumors and half truths. I'm convinced only a few people over there actively post. And more convinced that few are even working pilots.

@ aeroscuttle & co

I think that was meant as withering sarcasm. The Master was heaping it upon us. That's how we end up being untouchable..

 

I feel truly withered/untouchable. Lower caste.

 

I hope we all do.

 

 

hummmm.......
