Pat your pilot

Being a pilot has its ups and downs.
Landed here you’ll find a smattering of odds and ends from 22+yrs as a #helicopter #pilot and a current air ambulance driver. ✌🏼🇺🇸🧢 🚁
Opinions are my own. Salt to taste.

What a clown show of incompetence.
They can’t even control who has access to the Oval Office.
They have no clue what they are doing. Morons.

Busy day back in the day.
The regional level one trauma center has three helipads. Why hospitals are built without at least one ground level or rooftop helicopter pad will always baffle me.

ROFU - Roll On Fold Up.
“Silver is safe.
Blue isn’t for you.”
The phrase I use when guiding first responders in the LZ loading process.
Catch phrases to keep people safe. Keep those fingers and hands intact friends.

True story.
Speed. Air Medical’s foundational benefit.
Dispatch to airborne window is under 10 minutes.
Sometimes more is needed. Planning an IFR flight, complicated weather, needing more information or special equipment/re-configuration.

Fun Fact Friday
-Helicopters can fly in the rain.-
Nice to have night vision goggles which turn the inky blackness into bright shades of greys and greens. Especially on nights like this.

Throwback Thursday
Ship Ops - reinforcing the importance of aviate, navigate then communicate.
Best advice given me: Treat all information provided by the ship as enemy dis-information until proven otherwise.
Cheers to those deployed. 🍻Get home safe.

In order to be designated an Aircraft Commander(also know as a PIC/Pilot In Command/Captain), the trainee would sit for a board.
One of questions often asked - “What is the most difficult Rescue Swimmer deployment?”
It’s been a hot minute but I hope this question or the like is still being asked.

N319RX - Outstanding in the field and in Air Medical transport.
See what I did there? Out - Standing …as in standing out in the field but also outstanding…
It was a very nice day for flying.
And…I’ll show myself out. 😂
