Yes, a girl has invaded your forum

Postby kate3sr » Fri Aug 14, 2009 11:11 pm

Hey guys
Have already slapped a post in the register for my beloved No.43, but I guess I'd better post here as well. Big hello to all, don't be worried 'bout offending me seeing as I'm an aircraft engineer and used to be one woman on a night shift of 200-odd peeps.... I'm used to blokes! Really looking forward to getting to know y'all 8)

That would be extremely cool, seeing as I love 1) my job and 2) archaeology. I am truly lucky, given that I have an excellent job and I'm cleared to fly military aircraft (just Hawk so far). Nothing compares to that acceleration down the runway :D

F15 Eagle and F18 Hornet are my favourite warplanes,I have seen the Lockheed SR71 aka the BLACKBIRD fly a few times at airshows and that was amazing.
Heaven can wait....I'm playing with my scooby.

The Blackbird must be some sight! I fancy going to the leuchers air show in September, going to be a Typhoon flying and also a Vulcan Bomber!
I went here when I was in Florida, what a collection!

Hey Bono!

Didn't know you were into your planes, could've chatted for hours more at the NE show! :wink:

Have to give you a shout when I'm stuck in ABZ next with the BP Offshore rescue machine - if SAR 'helos' aren't too boring for you!!

Used to watch the USAF Blackbirds down in East Anglia when I were a lad - very impressive.

And a big WELCOME to you too kate3sr

Are you in the 'mob' or working for a living? :lol:

Think I took up enough of your time wittering on about our Wr1s :lol:

Dont know that much on the helicopter front what type is the SAR chopper?
The only chopper I have ever been on was a Sikorsky S61 ( i think :lol: ) on a pleasure flight from Dyce :oops: when they used them for the rigs.

It's a search and rescue 'Super Puma' variant Bono purchased to support BPs' offshore rescue Jigsaw project - been running since 2006. Similar to the ones that 'hump and dump' to the rigs - but with lots of extra rescue kit.

And of course it comes in gloss black with yellow racing stripes... 8)

I used to fly RAF rescue Sea Kings (practically S61s) for many years - so could 'wax lyrical' about military stuff for hours, and hours...........

Sounds like quite a machine! What a cool job you have, never knew you were a flyboy, you will have to work on your handlebar moustache old bean :wink:
Good job we never got onto the subject of aircraft at the AECC as that would have been me for the rest of the day. :D
By the way ever read Chickenhawk, great book about a Huey pilot in Vietnam worth a read esp if you are into choppers!

cheers guys... I do love my '1 very much - how did I manage all these years without?
Answer to the earlier question - I'm civvy, so I get to 'work' for my money (after a fashion). A lot of it is very boring... but the good bits make up for that :D
