Where are they now

Its been about two years since I last looked at this NG.

What's happened the to the old regulars...
Fly Giros,
Badwater Bill,
Ron Pilot,
There was a guy that flew for PHI but can't remember his name. Had a lot of
respect for him. Always answered questions clearly, concisely and with
humour.

Mike Williams, South Wales, UK.

Oh god how embarsing. I forgot about that stupid nickname. What was I
thinking of.

Ah just remembered another one : Beavis from Bristol into RC flying.

Bob Barbanes aka BH206B@aol
Bob has disappeared and no longer has an AOL account. The last I heard he was
working with the revitalized FH1100 project.

I've been gone for awhile. I'm working on a law degree. Tonight is
the first night I've logged on to the News groups since about
Christmas. Just been too busy studying. There's a lot of reading to
do to become a lawyer.

I've been flying helicopters a lot over the past six months just to
stay current and build time...just for fun. Got about 500 hours of
helo time now.

I may stick around here if I find it fun. It's just that this gets
tiring when it turns into fighting. As long as it's light spirited
and fun, I'm game. I have enough conflict in my life with making a
living and going to school full time.

I don't have long now before I get the degree. Then I'm going rest
for awhile. After that, I'm going to become like 007 and take care of
a lot of things that have bothered me for a long time.

Please post pictures of these activities on the web - I'm sure we're all
intrigued.

(Are we talking about a License To Kill? I saw that movie!)

Well, I can't say I miss Ron Pilot... actually, I do! I for one took
everything he said lightly and with a grain of salt, and thought it lead to
some very interesting conversation.

I sure as heck don't. All he did was raise my BP, which maybe means I'm
an easy target, but his attitude really got under my skin.

and what about Nick Lappos? When I first came in
here, he was just a legend in my eyes -- but within the space of a few short
weeks, he went from being a legend I'd seen pictures and video of, to a real
person that posted and shared insight and knowledge.... to a legend again.
There's so much I would have liked to have learned from him and the others
that seem to have dissapeared. I'm not good with names, but for some reason
I remember Nick, Bob, Stan, Ron... people who's kowledge and opinion were
invaluable to me.

Nick now drops in on the pprune.org helicopter group. It originates in
(I think) the UK and is as such a bit North-Sea/England-centric but
there's still a lot of good stuff there.

will hopefully work for you.

Looking forward to BobB's next update on the Fairchild FH1100.

I miss Bob Barbanes too... and what about Nick Lappos?

I think Nick still lurks here at times but I remember him posting some months
back how he was fed up with the typical troll/name calling/fighting that seems
to be a staple of Internet Newsgroups and decided it wasnt worth his time and
effort.
Cant blame him that's for sure.
