So once again, lighten up. You'll live longer. And don't waste your
time and bandwidth on what you call "Henriques Usenet hints". I'm sure to ignore them. But thanks anyway, for the offer. It is a real shame that dudley does not have a personality to go with his experience on the subject of aviation. I had a few run-ins with him a few years ago, starting from a comment that was in no way deserving of the response he gave. Take it from me - ignore him when he goes off, or just kill-file him. His approach will not change, and you are only an inferior pimple on his ass to be eliminated, as far as he is concerned. -- Jim in NC |

It's apparently only a big deal for a few specific morons on Usenet. My family, my friends, my professional associates past and present, and indeed even my country's government at the highest level seem to be quite happy with things just the way they are. Only on Usenet will one find the idiots an issue like this one will attract. Oh, they exist IRL as well, but they can't hide behind anonymous signatures so they are less prone to expressing themselves. It's far more hazardous there. :-)) So they tend to talk among themselves where they might find some one who will listen. Yep, true enough, but believe it or not, (maybe I'm some kind of exception), but most of the people I've known professionally were straight shooters. Of course a lot of the people I've known in aviation worked daily in it's most dangerous environment. When you work in this arena, you have a tendency As most know from my sig I'm also a Ham (Amateur Radio Operator). I built my own tower and still do some tower climbing at my age. Early on in life I was a farmer, but gave that up a bit after turning 21 as I figured there had to be a better way to make a living, or at least more to my liking without getting As to that 97' tower in the back yard, I still do my own maintenance and make at least half a dozen trips to the top for no other reason than to take a panoramic photo of the entire area. It drives the color balance on the digital cameras nuts. But, at any rate I go up and stand on the tower top plate to shoot the photos. (Yes, I do use safety equipment). I had one on the web but at 68 megs it didn't get a lot of viewing, but now that there are a lot more high speed connections I may just put a new one up. (Joyce put her foot down and I no longer climb for others or for hire. I don't even carry insurance any more so no one would hire me anyway.) I've also done a lot of photography and shot the Michigan Professional Road Rally two years running. I spent nearly an hour strapped onto a heli shooting down two trackers with a pilot who was also a crop duster. I have some shots where I couldn't zoom back far enough to get anything other than the driver's face in the windshield. Joyce sat in the middle, changing film for me. When the pilot found that neither of us were bothered by the motion, nor scared, he let "er all hang out. :-)) That was the most fun I ever had flying (when I wasn't the pilot) to learn early on what's important and what isn't important in life. The Which is my point with all of the above. All would be considered risky (yes they do contain varying amounts of risk) and the unknowing, general public and press would probably call it a number of things I wouldn't. All are environments where a mistake can lead to some very unpleasant consequences. All involve trust. You can't have trust when there is back stabbing and nit picking going on. Then again, how many of the general public would climb a 100' radio tower to shoot photos of a sunset, or get on the skid of a helicopter to shoot photos of race cars on a sand trail in the woods. BTW, It took a week for some of the welts to go away from the tree branches. I did get swatted a few times. When we were waiting to the Heli a TV crew was getting ready to go out. That they really didn't want to go was quite evident. Joyce mentioned that they'd be able to get much better shots if they took the door off. The cameraman said that if she found someone crazy enough to do that he'd let him use the camera. She said, "Ask the little, ball headed guy over there", but they flew and shot with the door on. I should put some of the shots up on my page. It was a three day event and I shot from both the air and ground. Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com back stabbing and nit picking found at almost every level of the outside professional work place for the most part doesn't exist with these people. For the most part, it's a no nonsense, performance based world, and bull **** walks there faster than any place else I've been to in my life. Sort of the opposite of Usenet I guess :-)) Dudley |

Andrew, check your settings. I believe that you are posting in HTML,
instead of the preferred plan text. -- Jim in NC |
