Hi Guys,
I am a Blackhawk helicopter pilot in the Air National Guard, before that I was on active duty in the Army flying Chinook helicopters (the big helicopter that looks like a flying bus)...in the past few years and recently I have flown in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and Turkey...spent a few years in Germany and Korea also.

Recently left the Navy after 10 yrs flew S-3B vikings, instructed in T-45 Goshawks, nearly 500 carrier landings.
Currently looking for job, getting a little tired of the airline hiring BS, apparently I'm not qualified enough. Thinking about a change of carreers. Any suggestions?

Okay, one more heavy driver--that ole Southeast Asian war taught me to fly , and I never looked back (pays better than the the theater lighting I do more for fun than profit, too). EAL, NWA , 22 yrs in the AFRES, 130, 727, DC9, DC10,747, and the most fun of all, the C7 Caribou....retired last year just in time to miss all the fun of 1113c filings and such...if I ever get the Suby engine in the 914, it'll fly,too!

Started flying in 1986 when I had my 2.0L both addictions are hard to quit. Had a girlfriend 300 mi away, long drive short flight. Got a job to pay for the flying habit. Bought and sold a Grumman Tiger, Bellanca 260, and Piper Aztec. Got into flying professionally for Ameriflight 402's, and Beech 99's. Got on with Horizon flying DHC8-200's, right before Sept 11. Still flying, but started a business to help pay bills and hedge my bets. The aviation business is't what it used to be!
I still enjoy it!!!

Akellym posting with a drawing/picture . Don't know if you fly them but if one has an engine on a Mohawk go out on takeoff. . . . . it will do a snap roll on you and you better get ready to kiss it good bye. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

The roll problem your talking about, was a problem for the earlier models with shorter wing span, aka The Widow Maker was its early nick name. I flew right seat in the D model and it could fly just fine on one engine.

[QUOTE] " The roll problem your talking about, was a problem for the earlier models with shorter wing span, aka The Widow Maker was its early nick name. I flew right seat in the D model and it could fly just fine on one engine. "

Akellym , . . . . Your probably right because I witnessed one lose an engine taking off from Lockheed Dobbins airbase (Ga.) east bound , back in the late 70's . The a/c lost an engine on t/o and barely cleared I - 75 and crashed into a clearing barely missing some apartments. If it had gone about another 100 yards , it would have hit my apartment building. Unfortunatley the 2 man crew did not make it but the pilot did his best not to hit any of the apartment buildings and should be commended for that.

Unfortunately the memory of that will never leave me.
