Beautiful Texas - Not A Contest - Just Thrilled to Be Here!

There is one on display at the 1st.cav museum on fort hood. There are some pictures of it earlier in this thread

Awe inspiring.. and massive barely describes it.

 

pretty much a big a$$ engine, rotors and cockpit. not much else.
pretty bad ass.

 

I need your job

 

"cockpitS" there's a rear crane seat with controls for it as well.

 

It's a cool one

Pay sucks

But you can't beat the view

There's another set of controls there too, pretty cool

 

Looks like the 1st Cavalry Museum on Fort Hood

 

At this point, it pays better than the job I currently dont have, so I'd take anything with that view.


Plus I miss flying, even if I'm not at the controls. Ran out of money about 11 hours into my rotary ticket =(


Edit: Wait a minute... saw your jeep/R44 post... I take it you're a ramp rat like my former self?

 

I'm a commercial pilot and certified flight instructor. I'm the most senior pilot under the owner so I stay pretty busy most days.

It's a cool gig but I'd make more money working part time at McDonald's. A lot less stress too I imagine. That said, I wouldn't give this job up even if I won the lottery.

 

Oof, yeah when I ran out of funds for my PPL my instructor was pretty bent out of shape, but she understood that $300/hr was not something many people can handle, especially after getting laid off. I miss it though =(

 

Best jobs are like that. When I was teaching snowboarding, if it wasn't busy and I couldn't get a lesson I made a grand total of $8 for the day. Still my favorite job ever.

 

New deck unfinished

Loving it

 

Weather shots of the rain rolling in to Leander today...

 

After yesterday's storms. Couldn't get flex pics of @DLS6110 truck because of the sideways rain.

 

Same sky just a few miles back toward town...

 

Yall were talking about this, then I saw one take off near Round Rock, got a pic.

 

Will have to come back for another visit when the weather's more favorable... Thanks for the time and the results!

 

And everyone else - I haven't been getting notices of posts. Thanks much. It's ALL very good.
Hover, make sure your GoPro gives you good ricing shots, because COOLER THAN MANY THINGS!

 

This past Friday at Buchanan, not sure if I posted.

 

This has been a long 24 hours. We didn’t take any water in thank goodness.
