So was the "pits" comment in bad taste or what?  Didn't seem as bad as "full set of teeth" in Rolla, Mo.   ;D
Blue side up?  Even over water???

Can't say I am much of an expert on anyone's "pits" since I don't make a habit of checking out other women!   ;)

But your thread is making me crazy....  I should have a thousand comments about helicopter pilots but can't seem to come up with any that are repeatable.....  and No, don't ask.....    :D      ::loony::      ::banghead::

 ::silly::
Don't make me come back there!!!!

there is just so many reasons NOT to be married to a helicopter pilot (I am sorry to say, but it's true)  ;)
it's hard to come up with reasons why you would want to be.....

gotta ask my woman why she is with me come to think of it....  ::thinking::


it's probably the fame and fortune of the Chicken Wings empire rather than my helicopter job  :D ;)

Ok...this is the list I compiled.  It's a working list...if something should be added and dropped, well, then I guess I'll do that.  8)

Benefits of being married to a helicopter pilot:

10. No squabbling on who takes out the garbage.  The cans are by the Bell407!

9. Schedule...what's that?

8. You can never be uglier than their aircraft.

7. Your man will NEVER have to go to the gym...he gets all the workout he needs, lifting that BIG WATCH.

6. 'My other car is a Sikorsky' bumper stickers!

5. Blow drying your hair is a thing of the past!

4. Jet A cologne!

3. Ample supply of sunglasses!

2. No more traffic problems when going to the mall.

...and the best reason to be married to a helicopter pilot...

1. Because it's just so damn cool!

...or all the Chicken Wings t-shirts you can sleep in!

Added that last bit for Mike and Stef  ::bow::

hmmmm.... I am just not sure if those are all benefits....  ::thinking::

my ex-wife (yeah....that's right.... almost every helicopter pilot has one of those....)
always said "If you smell like jet-fuel, don't even come home!" ::complaining:

which rules out #4 for example.....

And also #9 doesn't seem to go over well with a WIFE (girlfriends are usually ok with it)  ::knockedout::

example:
wife: when will you be home?
pilot: dunno
wife: how come?
pilot: cause I am on a fire honey!
wife: on a saturday?? !!! ?? We had plans!!!!
pilot: I know, I am sorry.
wife: well, when will the fire be out ?. . . .

you can imagine the rest....... (true story btw)    (hence "ex-"wife)

 8) ;D

You should say "at least one of these"--I got two..  ::whistle:: ::whistle::

And when I flew on Kauai there was a pilot got married to # 7.. ::eek:: ::eek:: WHat I want to know is HOW do you convince # 7 that you will love them for ever..
Life may not be the party we hoped for---but while we're here--we might as well dance..........

Give them one of those "pattern recognition" tests before you get invovlved in the first place...?  Don't bother unless they fail?

I think we have all "been there, suffered that".....   ::loony::

My best timing of all the screw-ups was the day I spent 30 minutes on the phone to CONVINCE the ex that "YES, YES, c'mon up to the [Idaho] mountains, I'll be off work at 6:00, we haven't flown for 3 days......"  blah blah blah.....

And YES, as I started the 2nd engine and was re-reading the fire order to California, I saw him pulling in to the base parking lot...  after a 100+-mile drive...  I could see the whites of his eyes from the ramp...  he drove up to the ramp fence, and I waved as I taxied away.... 

Don't think he ever got over THAT one.....      ::complaining:

Which is just ONE reason he is the "Ex".......    ;D
