HA HA!!
Exactly!   

If Carol from TAP writes me after the show saying "so-and-so came by the booth and did this weird chicken dance",
he or she gets a free book!
 


(make sure you tell her who you are!)

And here I was about to order one!

I'll be there all week... who else is going? We should get together for some... chicken 

Gawd I'll be glad to get this week over with. My student came out of the woodwork a couple of weeks ago wanting to finish up his private THIS week, as he's on vacation. Needed a lot of ground review, some flying as well. I've been working with him almost every night after my real job. Then I get a call for a job interview at the end of the week... am flying my Arrow to that Thursday morning and should get home Friday night wx permitting. And I'm going to SLEEP Saturday...

Anyway, can't wait for Oshkosh. Hope to see some of you there...

Absolutely we should meet up for some chicken. I'll shoot you an email off line as the magic time gets closer and we can make arrangements.

I'm interviewing with MSU Mankato for a faculty position in their library. Good thing about the job is it's only 9 months a year (I currently work 12). The bad thing is... you don't get paid for the three months you're off, and I don't think I can afford that (unless I sell my Arrow... which ain't going to happen!!!!). I'm going to ask at the university's flight school if they hire part time CFIs that aren't a product of their own program... I expect them to say no. But you never know. Sometimes they're more intersted in having a more perminant older person to rely on with more single engine time and dual given than a young whipper-snapper who is instructing to build time before they leave for their next job on the climb up the ladder. We'll see.

Hey, good luck, Turbo.  It'll be nice having another forum member in God's country.   

I looked into working for Mankato, but they wanted MEI's only.

Well... It will start soon! So did everyone already practice the chicken dance?!?!

Several times when I was younger! But forget I said it! the music you hear together with the "movie posted" was a popular children song! Who could have known that I had to dance it again?!?

@ Turbo: Any news? I did not notice what you said about the work before, so good luck, mate!

Thanks... it was a faculty position that turned out is a fixed two year contract... not worth losing tenure where I am now, though I do need to move on. The flight school at the university subcontracts out their flight operations and is in the process of selling the business to the other FBO... they weren't sure if they would want any part time instructors (my guess is they are like most schools and only hire their own graduates).

Just re-read that and should probably have stated more clearly that the position I interviewed for had nothing to do with the flight school or aviation... instructing is a fun part time gig that simply allows me to fly on somebody else's dime and, when I have a good student, gives me tremendous satisfaction by sharing this incredible experience called flight.

Thanks for asking!

I'm REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAALY getting psyched for Airventure!!!!!

BUT ARE YOU PRACTICING THE CHICKEN DANCE ??

Ducks don't do chicken dances. Any more than I was going to sing the Sonex version of "Hotel California" at the Sonex party at Oshkosh two years ago (lesson: NEVER post parody lyrics to an internet forum shortly before a party featuring people from said forum, lest you be coerced into singing them with the band).

ROFL----I can only imagine---

[Turbomallard]

Okay, folks (or is that chickens...) who all is going to be there?

C310RCaptian and I have exchanged phone numbers and hope to meet up for some chicken at some point... and perhaps dance at the TAP booth. (Note: I intend to bring a printout of Mike at Steph's messages as evidence we were put up to doing strange things in case they deny knowing anything about it with the TAP people.)
