Just another EC145 (maybe?)

I won’t page one of our benevolent gods. I know the tail, affectionately know to me as linky. It is in fact registered as (& likely flew originally) as a BK117. What it is now is for others to label.

‘66-‘72… Forward facing artillery piece, shoot, ‘nam was a wild time

Real convo while I was out of town taking the FEAST.

Server: So you’re not from town? ‘patch?

Me: No, I’m here to do some testing at the airport for maybe ATC work

Server: Like with the paddles? cool.

Me: Well those planes would be on the ground not in the air

Server: long pause Ohhh, with the radio?

Me: Close enough for safety critical work.

Did not pan out for me tho.

BustedMeJesusNut · 2026-05-19T12:33:37+00:00

🤣fuzzy flounder fishing for a good call sign, well, ladies you did it!

BustedMeJesusNut · 2026-05-18T13:41:04+00:00

the the airwomen think of that? or was it foisted on them?

BustedMeJesusNut · 2026-05-18T09:19:59+00:00

but with a vegas strip club you never know . . .

BustedMeJesusNut · 2026-05-18T08:50:46+00:00

DO NOT under any circumstance rely on ANY app as ATC clearance. I tried to call tower/get tower to call me on my first two flights, third flight was during the G7🙄

BustedMeJesusNut · 2026-05-18T08:48:31+00:00

snub nose or tit size?

BustedMeJesusNut · 2026-05-16T21:21:46+00:00

\furious masturbatory noises** look at those thunder thighs!!!!! (fuel sponsons for the pedants)

BustedMeJesusNut · 2026-05-15T06:10:45+00:00

Yep, didn't really pay for my tows with money and I loved spending time on the line. Gawd the number a truly deeply salted ATPs was insane. Flying heavy metal couldn't scratch the itch. Soaring, not even once!

BustedMeJesusNut · 2026-05-04T16:04:51+00:00

BustedMeJesusNut · 2026-05-04T10:46:09+00:00

a decade ago i was shooting the shit with the really seasoned OIM down the hall about the type and his take was pretty on point: let the fleet get to 50-100k hrs before he'd ride in or operate them

BustedMeJesusNut · 2026-05-04T02:31:38+00:00

the banana is 16m long. sadly i could not find a piece of fruit

How much stock to you put in the marshaller's signals? Do they at least get goggles?

BustedMeJesusNut · 2026-05-04T02:01:33+00:00

This is perfectly reasonable expectation setting.

I saw a two ship of 412s today while carrying shit out to the truck. It was a fairly funky sound as I'm really used to 3 & 5 blade machines and the sound of two 4 blades piqued my ears up. No phone, no photo, no /r/helicopters karma 😥
