Hey Gang

[Sgt. Twitch]

Hey everybody! Figured I'd better come in here and show my face before I get in trouble with The Boss. She has given me the pleasure of being the next new pilot around these parts..so be prepared for mass hysteria (good album) and all-around general wierdness. Just some background for you guys. I am currently a Staff Sergeant with the US Air Force, stationed out of Charleston AFB, SC but deployed to Baghdad AB, Iraq. I should be home VERY shortly and making my first flights. Hope to talk to ya'll soon!

[The Boss]

Ha! Sounds like you've got it figured out, Twitch. Opportunities to show your face are few and far between once you get on my list. ;-)

So welcome to the hangar! You can take that locker over there on the end, over by the big red toolbox, for your stuff when you're out flying (which should be all the time). Aside from that, something you should be aware of that Raptorman didn't quite pick up on - it's your job to bring the plane BACK, too. In case of emergency (or that you didn't quite remember how to land), there's a roll of duct tape in the plane, and here's your company-issue LeatherHombre multi-purpose tool. <hands said tool over>

Looking forward to seeing you around... or not, as the case may be. :heheh:

LeatherHombre on first arrival?

Wow Boss you must be keen to get new guys in

[Sgt. Twitch]

nah...I'm already a mechanic...that's why ;)

Don't worry -- I've got it on a bungee until he's flown his first mission. 8-)

You're a mechanic? GREAT! Mac and I will have our hands full for awhile, so it's kind of a "fix-it-yourself" situation until we return to duty. Stop in and I'll let you borrow duct tape and an Elbonian or two (you have to feed them if you use them...the Elbonians of course, duct tape if applied correctly will eat very little).

Hey, Boss..."Torque" Wrench wants to know when she can start flying lessons. She says..."waaaaah, today I may be filling my pants, but tomorrow I'll be flying your planes!"
If I'm correct, you take new pilots even if they are still filling their pants?

[The Boss]

Usually I only take new pilots if they're good at causing their passengers to fill their pants, but I have a soft spot for Miss "Torque", so just you wait a day or two until that big box arrives (the one with HER name on it, as opposed to the one with yours) and tell me what she thinks about the contents. :heheh:

well...more of an electrician than a mechanic...can I put party lights inside the company 172? huh? can I?

If you do, I don't want to know about it! ;-)

Mac, "Torquie", and I say "hi" Twitch and welcome. Should we start a betting pool on how long it takes for you to get in trouble around here? Remember the little words that will always get you out of trouble..."I didn't do it." (Best if said while pointing your finger at another pilot).

Welcome Twitch, but watch out for the boss :eek: (Raptor hides under his desk) Before you know, you'll receive such a nice looking title :rolleyes: :-D
