The first is I am here not moving for a very long time

I have studied many other locations for where I hang my hat, but for all the possible locations , my current quarters satisfy me and price wise can't beat it.

Over the week-end threw $5,000.00 into the shop so that is secure.

Got an opinion that said military aviators do not mind being called a pilot. That is incorrect. The many I know, and work with and for, do not like being called a pilot. We prefer Aviator.

This same commentor also said for a towing professional like myself I must stay inside allot. Only at night, and then sitting here minding the phone, and communications waiting for night runs.

The bottom line here is that while I may hang my hat in Glenns Ferry, does not mean the biz will stay here. Likewise looking at Boise area as HQ for The AyreWolves.

Final approach here, Remember Military Aviators do not like being called Pilot.

You sir, have no idea what you are talking about. I would enjoy watching you walk into the officers club at a military base and call the pilots there aviators. You would find yourself on the seat of your pants, (if they allow you to keep your pants). A two seat fighter/bomber has two occupants, the driver and the backseater, or the Pilot and Weapons Systems Officer (WSO). They are both aviators but only one is the Pilot. If you value the few teeth you have left in your head you will not confuse the two. On large transport/recon aircraft, there are several enlisted crew members. They are aviators, but once again do not confuse the pilot with them. The pilot is not only the driver, he is responsible for all that goes on with his/her aircraft.

Maybe in Hazzard County the crop duster wants to be called an aviator, DO NOT confuse a military pilot with him.

"we" prefer aviator, my ____. If you only had the right to claim to be one. You are not. You do not have a pilot's license. you cannot legally fly. You are not an aviator. Look in a real PILOT's logbook sometime, if you don't know what one is, just ask a real pilot. It says, "PILOT in command time".

What's it like on your planet?
