The Pig Pen is relocating......

I am not sure I would be comfortable flying a helicopter operated on such a shoestring budget. Of course, in the Army we overmaintained our helicopters.

Congratulations on your new gig!

There is no such thing as "overmaintaining" a helicopter.

Mountain flying skills? In that area of the state, the highest point may be an I-95 overpass.

LOL... so true.

......... to Punta Gorda, FL :clap:

I was hired as a helicopter and airplane pilot for the Sheriffs Office.  Huge move, and a lot to get done in the next two weeks!   When I was there a couple weeks ago I saw a couple CAP planes on the ramp at Charlotte Airport.

Welcome to FLWG! Perhaps I'll run into you at some point, I'm north of you in Tampa.

It refers to Pineda. It started as HEWNWDM  He Whose Name We Don't Mnetion   and morfed from that

It's also a Happy Potter movie reference which is where those of us who were here on this board at the time seemed to pick it up from.

The proper term is "He Who Shall Remain Nameless" - HWSRN, and had nothing to Harry Potter.
It appears it was coined by jimmydeano.

Finally famous!  I think I did that because I had recently read something about Castro and how people refer to him by stroking their chin (in reference to his beard) so that they don't have to say his name.  At the time, the dictator thing seemed appropriate.

Currently staged in Southern CA.  Prepping the troops and restocking supplies. Commanders intent is to assault east into Arizona tomorrow afternoon.  Stand by for further.

Safe travels, brother. I would offer y'all a port in Birmingham but I live in an apartment.

Weaksauce. I expected an amphibious assault into Florida.

[Private Investigator]

Yeah having no license now and no prior military flying the chances of me getting enough hours to fly for a dept before I retire are slim to none lol.

Exactly. The exception is "observer" but that requires a good political connection. Of course back in the 1980s every sheriff and chief with an Air Bureau wanted to have the first female helicopter pilot. Google that and you'll have some interesting reading. Who thought the GOBN existed outside of CAP?

So is your new duty uniform a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops with Jimmy Buffett as you're co-pilot?

Or any "social" after a wing staff meeting.  Heck, we rarely change out of the swim trunks!
