Why do you need to see my profile?

Doesn’t the search bar work?

Here’s some recent stuff if you’re really interested.

About a pound

I always wanted to use that as a thread name. Anyways I have some beans getting ready to plant in my precharged coco. I have a Seedstockers - Purple Punch Autoflower for a "solo cup challenge" prepping. This got me to thinking, if I'm going to grow I might as well grow. So I also have four...

Yes I did but I have it memorized. I used to be a pilot for PanAm Airlines. I flew nothing but 747's. I also type 70 wpm so it didn't take long. :mrgreen:

What's your accuracy at that speed? I can get 100wpm but 11% accuracy so how about that. jkjk

747? Thats my baby too!
What series did you fly? I imagine PanAm had the original series or 200’s
I worked with -400 cargo conversions
The best aircraft ever made IMO

Fixed wing is for sissies:mrgreen:. AH 64 Longbow, now that's an aircraft worth flying :bigjoint:. You guys can glide in with an engine failure, we get to auto rotate also known as crash land. Just kidding guys, pilots are a special breed and I just fixed em up when the pilots busted em up. I did get to auto rotate in a Blackhawk helicopter and crush a set of shocks and wheels which was fun. I don't like planes but will gladly fly rotor all day. I'm just weird that way.

And yes the 747 is a beast- we had an international flight where the pilots reported a slight vibration in flight- when they landed there was a large part of a wing that delaminated and failed- it was a pretty big hole to only cause a slight vibration.

Those things fly over my house sometimes. Once one was obviously breaking the rules and was flying right in front of my house in this valley. It was badass. That would be my dream job. Nascar driver would be second.

Pilot yes- Nascar driver- I tried that at a Rusty Wallace Nascar driving experience- car had awesome power but it was like 120 degrees plus in the drivers seat and we had full fire suits on- 20 or 30 laps and I was toast!!

Ya, that's the only shitty thing. You'd think they'd have AC in those things, :lol:

I can't give names or specific details but myself and another specialist had to hold a bed mattress down by laying on top of it while an Apache landed the tail on it because he had torn the tail landing gear off it doing nape of the Earth flight training. He had about 3' to spare without crushing one of either of us. All of us would have been Article 15'd if anyone higher up than a warrant officer had been around at the time but the bird was low on fuel and had no landing gear and we had an old mattress we laid transmission's on to cushion them in the hangar so I thought it would be better than laying the bird in the sand. It worked and the pilot never got his W5. He retired a year later as he had violated the 500' ceiling they were supposed to have and had struck a Saguaro cactus which was stuck in the Hellfire missile racks and 30mm cannon when he got back. He was running lower than low. Good times and free drinks from that pilot for life :mrgreen:. He tried telling the unit commander the cactus was 500' but that didn't go too well. He was an old Cobra pilot from Vietnam too. I really loved that guy.
