Re: first year float wages (bush)
Hmmmm....you heard I'm the big mouth on this site huh?
Come on G.H. you can do better than that.
But what the hell here is an offer.....if you can show evidence that any of my claims are untrue with respect to my background and the flying I have done you post it here.
We have to seperate the big mouth issue from the the B.S. mouth issue.
At least I can prove who and what I am.
So over to you.

The most difficult thing about flying is knowing when to say no.
After over a half a century of flying I can not remember even one trip that I refused to do that resulted in someone getting killed because of my decision not to fly.

Re: first year float wages (bush)
O.K., at the moment I am semi retired so I am flying for no one.You fly for who .......
But lets start with a very simple exercise in proving who I have flown for.
Go to your local video rental store and get the movie by Miramax called " below ".
Then go to the credits and the look at the cast of characters in the movie.
The first one you will see is . . as the naval pilot in that movie.
That will do for a start Green Hornet.
To get to fly in the movie industry is quite an accomplishment and they are very particular who they hire when it comes to flying skills and background, especially at the level of Miramax one of the worlds top movie companies.
So after you do that come on back and I'll point you to some more films I flew in on several continents.
That ought to clear up your confusion about me being just a broke down old bush pilot living an a trailer.

Re: first year float wages (bush)
sdp, lets enjoy Green Hornet while we can, seldom does such a specimen show up here to have fun with.
Me thinks his time here is very limited, if the moderators don't get rid of him he will make such a fool of himself he will just fade away as fast as he came here.

Re: first year float wages (bush)
sdp, even though it is sort of fun fencing with these wannabes every once in a while it sure does show that the industry has some real cretins lurking around the fringes.
You be careful now because he might beat the shit out of you now he knows where to find you.

Re: first year float wages (bush)
Green Hornet it must be lonely living in anonymity trying to find self worth by making a fool of yourself.
Wouldn't you rather be like me, willing to answer any question with regard to my life in aviation and able to offer irrefutable proof to answer questions such as where have you worked?
By the way threatening people with physical harm can backfire on you real fast so it would be best that you remain in hiding behind your computer screen.

Re: first year float wages (bush)
You know Chucky I wish you could understand what I write. I guess you are to busy being full of yourself like a puffed up blow fish.
Anyway I never threatened anyone. I mearly stated that I would like to have kicked the "retard" in the nuts when I met him but because I am a non violent type person I didn't. Telling someone you would have liked to have kicked him in the nuts is just an expression to convey my distaste for the fella.
Now if I said I was going to kick him in the nuts next time we met, which I have no intention of ever doing anything like that to another person especially one that is held in such high regard as "retard" ... well then that would be a threat. So open your eyes, read slowly and try to understand what is written.... get with it old timer.
I could use bigger print and smaller words if you are having a hard time keeping up or understanding what I am talking about.
Maybe to much movie time, fame and glory etc ...... has clouded your mind or mabe you are on crack.
I met you in Thunder Bay many years ago but you don't remember me .... but I remember you ....

Wow! It must be November.
You guys have way too much time on your hands.
But really men, this thread has deteriorated well below all of your levels. Maybe it's time to shut her down?

180 ..... I agree it was fun but getting a bit .. raunchy. Have fun all .. I am out of here ....
Re: first year float wages (bush)
I believe, and you may correct me if I am wrong, I read 6 or 7 CADORs this summer alone from beaver accidents. Most were a result of fuel starvation. Must be quite a few idiots flying the supposedly idiot proof bush plane. . wrote:
What is wrong with a pilot with 500 hours flying a Beaver arguably one of the most idiot proof bush planes ever made?

Re: first year float wages (bush)
Kzanol have we gotten to the point that aircraft designers must design an airplane that will not allow a pilot to run out of fuel?
Do you think the Beaver is to difficult for a five hundred hour pilot to fly as long as the pilot does not run out of fuel?

Re: first year float wages (bush)
Kzanol you are right. Chucky forgets that at 500 TT you just barley have any experience at any aspect of aviation. It takes 250 just to get a commercial ticket. The Beaver is a fairly easy a/c to master and it is not necessarily that the aircraft is difficult but the pilots are asked to fly it in difficult conditions.
I can't imagine what must be going through a guys mind at 500tt when he has a cannoe on each float, at gross, 30 kt wind gusting 45, landing on a curve on the river with 100 ft obstacles to clear.
As much as I detest insurance companies they are great keepers of statistics. They usually require 500hr float time before they consider putting a guy on a Beaver and there is a reason for it. The last I heard the opperators with open pilot clauses on their insurance were going to loose them because of all the incidents last summer.
But no point trying to tell Chucky anything .... he has been in the movies so.....

Well Green I was flying a Beaver with less than 500 hundred hours and well, it was more than 20 years ago and I know a few guys in that era that started flying a Beaver as their first job so I suspect maybe your memory is a bit jaded!!Right now the indusrty is seeing guys jumping into Beavers with 500 hours tt. This was unheard of 20 years ago.
