osuskydiver 0 #1 March 12, 2004 E-mailed to me by a friend earlier today. You May be a Redneck Pilot if... ... your stall warning plays "Dixie." ... your cross-country flight plan uses flea markets as check points. ... you think sectionals charts should show trailer parks. ... you've ever used moonshine as avgas. ... you have mud flaps on your wheel pants. ... you think GPS stands for going perfectly straight. ... your toothpick keeps poking your mike. ... you constantly confuse Beechcraft with Beechnut. ... just before impact, you are heard saying, "Hey y'all, watch this!" ... you have a black airplane with a big #3 on the side. ... you've ever just taxied around the airport drinking beer. ... you use a Purina feed bag for a windsock. ... you fuel your wizzbang 140 from a Mason jar. ... you wouldn't be caught dead flyin' a Grumman "Yankee." ... you refer to flying in formation as "We got ourselves a convoy!" ... there is a sign on the side of your aircraft advertising your septic tank service. ... the set of "matching luggage" you take on your long cross-country flights is three grocery sacks from the same Piggly Wiggly! ... when you are the owner of Red Neck Airlines and pilot of Redneck One. ... you subscribe to The Southern Aviator because of the soft paper! By the time you read this you have already read it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aviatrr 0 #12 March 14, 2004 Holy shit, dude...it's been a LLOOOOONNNNG time since I've talked to you....but...when did you start your own flight school?! Nice aircraft choice, BTW. I saw one of those about a year ago down here in Orlando(didn't get to fly it, unfortunately). How many do you have? Oh, and I saw that you offer Jump Pilot Training....I chuckled at that one....I got this image of you going up with a student, then at 10k saying...."OK, here's your training...keep the plane under control.." as you exit..

How many do you have? I've had my company for over two years. It's only in the last year that I've been using airplanes not provided by someone else. I have three Alarus CH2000's in my fleet. I was forced into the business when Mike left me hanging without an airplane in December 2002. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
