What does everybody look like?????

Guess I'll play too while I'm waiting to see the 'Ladies of TW'

On a C130 flying to a non-disclosed country (reading Freakonomics)


In Jerusalem standing outside Jesus' tomb


In El Centro, CA working (Jeep was a rental... lol)


Working in a non-disclosed Country

 

so what do you do for work? seems cool...

 

I was wondering the same thing.

 

You couldn't be closer to the truth...

I lead a flight operations team, we fly airplanes with no pilots in them (UAV)...

I get to travel to a lot of cool places (El Centro was NOT one of them... haha)

 

What do you mean El Centro was not cool, the only place cooler is Imperial! Wife's family is from there, some still there.

 

wowzas... I think on that trip we stayed in Brawley (at the Brawley Inn <--go figure...)

 

that is sick man, so did they recruit you from an RC plane comp?? or have you been training for this all your life?/ video games? what?? can you get me a jobby job?

 

ahh... +1 for your memory...

EDIT: Gave too much rep today... have to wait...

 

I got lucky -- when I got out of the Army (I was an Air Traffic Controller), there was a company hiring anybody with Army Aviation experience to learn how to fly these things. The FAA had frozen hiring, so I went on board with that company.

I eventually quit and went to a better position... then I quit that position to move to the east coast...

What kind of skills do you have? My company is always hiring, but flight crew personnel are typically a 'select breed.' Corporate HQ is in Northern Baltimore...

 

lol... pretty much

If I lived near ya, I would.

 

I am beast at microsoft flight simulator. haha no, but I dont know, anything having to do with that would be pretty cool. I am good with computers, and can usually learn how to do pretty much anything.

 

So, like the Predator?

 

I love FSX!!

 

damn if that aint a left handed compliment!!

 

I was a tech on an F14 Flight simulator when I was in the Navy. It was pretty cool. Full motion base, weather simulation (which would shake the crap out out of the simulator when it was on full rough air). There were digitized airstrips where you could practice taking off and landing and there was a scenario where you could do aircraft carrier landings and take-offs (I could trap but it wasn't pretty). They even had a g-suit plug-in which would fill with air as you pulled g's. Some of the contractors digitized an obstacle course that you could fly through. Great fun. If they didn't get rid of the rating, I probably would have done a full 20 years.

 

u guys know there is a thread for "what do u do for work" right?
