That fly-in is similar to all of America nowadays...a general dumbing down of anyone who stands out, anyone who is the best of the best. It's all the same, a tendency toward below average mediocrity. I'll bet a thousand dollars O'ring and I have more time logged (and we quit logging time years ago) than all the time of all the people, added up together, that I saw in any of these photos. I'll also bet that we've spent more man-years building and test flying than any of the people who I saw sitting there drinking beer. Then if you add in Jarvis's 25000 hours, 12,000 in 747-400's alone...you'll triple that figure. But, you people have what you wanted, you pecked out anyone who really had anything to offer. Any nail that stuck out of the wood was hammered down long ago. So, you folks go have your Pink-knee-ville, eat your hamburgers, drink your Miller-Draft and listen to low-time pilots like Snow**** tell you how to do it, how a BFR should be conducted, how an initial test flight might be addressed... You listen to the pilots that would kill themselves if they ever had to test fly a homebuilt and it started to roll on them, the prop went flat or the engine crapped out. Yep, that's who posts here now, assholes like Burnie the butt**** who couldn't build a Dagwood sandwich, let alone an airplane. You people go to Pink Knee Ville each year and congratulate yourselves on your accomplishments and great successes in building aircraft. Hell, you can't even get Bourbon down there anymore and he only lives around the block. You people who couldn't drill a hole straight enough to put a rivet into-and if you did, wouldn't know how to drive that rivet. You guys and gals have a great time pontificating about nothingness, while some of us continue to build and fly experimental aircraft that you can't build and you would never be able to fly. I'm buying parts now to build a Lancair Legacy with a supercharged IO-550 on the front of it. And you know..... If I build it, I'll remember that I built it with information I got here from High Flier and Sydney and Oysterhouse, the great builders and fliers of our time, and the recurrent visits to Pink Knee Ville so I could remain "tuned" up for the task of building and test-flying a 300 knot airplane. Yep, I learned it all here from this forum, the forum of self proclaimed geniuses of homebuilding and test flying. What a joke this forum is and what a joke Pink Knee Ville has become from what it once was. Looks more like a circle-jerk than a fly-in. What showed, up? Three airplanes? What a crock of ****. I had a picknick here a week ago with more pilots and more experience present that 10 Pink Knee Villes...and that was a spur of the moment thing I planned the morning of the event. Six helicopters flew in, a paraglider, four trikes and a balloon came for a hamburger fry. Pink Knee Ville----How embarrassing from what it could have become if the people with the right stuff weren't pecked out of the group early on. Well, you PJYer's enjoy yourselves and if you'd had Pink Ass there this year, all you fat ****s would be posting and talking about the savory barbeque sauce that someone made instead of how to install speed brakes on a Glassair or using a Chadwick to balance a prop. But Pink Ass too only got there because I bought him an airline ticket. He too was too cheap to even pay his own way. Then I find out he's really a dentist. Christ, what a bunch of mooches. What a ****ing joke all of you muther ****ers are. BWB |

So who is this Bill guy the self appointed GOD of the air?
He said he wouldn't walk across the street to talk to someone like me. Because I am just a newbie at this flying/building thing. I think that's great. Any one that high on their self has nothing that I want to hear anyway. Brett Ray www.hog-air.com |

Still, thanks for the airplane ride. I'll stop working my Europa's instrument panel now - better that to potentially decide later on I actually learned something in the process and dare share it with someone. |

Bill, does it really matter how hours you have? We're talking about people here. People that are friends. The Pinckneyville flyin isn't about how many hours you have at the top of a loop nor is it about how many airplanes you've flown. It's a bunch of people that enjoy each others company and, granted, they may tell a few "stories" that aren't completely truthful but anytime you get at least three pilots together it's pretty much guaranteed that a few "stories" will be shared. Yeah, John it really does matter how many hours you have, and what type. But you wouldn't know that because you only have about 200. It matters how many building hours you have too...how many airplanes you've built and worked on. It's all about experience John. Nothing else much makes the man other than experience. Bill, I'm happy you're building a Legacy. Maybe the time it takes to build it will give you a purpose in life. Right now, I'm finding it real difficult to like you. You've posted about how John O deserved to be divorced from his wife. You've posted, in this post, how David is a mooch because he accepted your offer of airfare to the Pinckneyville Flyin. You told me of this agreement several years ago telling me it was confidential. I kept that confidence. I didn't feel it was something that should be shared with the entire world. WHY did you, at this time, feel you need'ed to announce that you'd paid David's way to Pinckneyville?? Yeah, well, maybe everyone should know who the mooches are John. Maybe all the confidential conversations were wasted and it really was not right. Maybe all should know about how the Pink Knee Ville fly-in turned to **** because of the mooching sons a bitches who tried to make $10 (ten bucks) off the participants, ****ed all of us off who spent a grand to get there to support the event. I'm glad to know what you think about us, Bill... I really had hoped that you'd changed but I'm sorry to see that you're still the self-centered vindicative asshole you've always said you are.... BWB I know you won't do it but you'd really benefit from some "counseling" and, maybe, once you've realized what a complete ass you've been, a sincere apology to RAH would be in order. But, like I said, you won't do it... you believe you're above all the rest of us.... I don't have the degrees you have and I'm sure you think that should mean something but, frankly, given what I've seen from your posts... I don't think you deserve ANY respect.... John Ammeter Oh now you are a psychologist and recommending therapy for me. You ****ing *******, did you even finish high school? Where are your board ceritfications so that you are capable of evaluating someone from a post to a ****ball usegroup forum? You are part of the problem here. Pink Knee Ville was a fun thing when we all first went there. The in-fighting assholes of this group and the host ****ed it up in my humble opinion. You know that. What the **** is the matter with you? PS... I want to be sure you get this reply so I'm also sent it to your private email address. Bill, I really thought about this... I've responded, in the past, privately, to some your "over the top" posts. This post is so vile that it deserves a public response. I really think you need to talk to someone about your problems.... Well, Thanks John. I will. But it won't be you. So don't bother to call me again when you have problems. Just so you know, I'm bcc'ing several friends with this email. You've made this a public issue by posting it to RAH. I'm simply continuing to keep it public. You can ****ing BCC the Pope if you like. It's your call BUDDY. BWB |

Give it a rest, Bill. We all know how you feel. Why drag it around again? Because I don't think all the new people know how I feel or what has happened. I made my statement, I'll drop it now, but early on there was a lot of talent that supported a RAH fly-in once a year. Only the weekend pilots who know nothing continue to think it's worthwhile at this point. There are reasons for this. If the group had played their cards right, the RAH fly-in could have become one of the biggest EAA events of the year that some real meaningful people would attend. That was my goal along with O'ring Seals, Ray Jarvis, Tony Pucillo, Chuck Slusarsick, Dave Tate, Craig Wall and many others. We could have had workshops on dope and fabric, wood and metal working, riveting and engine maintenance. The only guy who ever did anything fun was Chuck Slusarsick. Chuck always had a workshop on building model airplanes and then he'd have a fly-off to see who built the one that would do what ever the mission was suppose to be. There were a lot of cool people who showed up years ago in ultralights, gyrocopters, high performance aerobatic airplanes and the like. The ramp actually had no more parking space at the last one I went to in about 2000. People brought other toys too like Craig Wall's pulse-jet engine that made so much noise when he started it up you could hear it in the next county. The RAH fly-in would have built through the years instead of piddling out. I like meeting the people we spar with here as much as anyone. It's fun to see them face to face. I like hauling FREE rides in the Cessna 310 or the P-210 or the RV-6 or whatever. I like supporting a get-together for the people who post here so they can see there are real people behind these typed-words we flush into the Internet. Those of us here on the West coast spent a thousand bucks each year to get there and support it, then be insulted by John and charged an extra $5 bucks because we didn't pre-register. But, the RAH fly-in became the PJY fly-in, then John's (Highflyer's) fly-in and it attracted the lowest common denominator as John whined about all the money he was losing by hosting it and went around on Saturday night hitting everybody up for more money. And where is it today? It looks like it's, populated by 10 people, most of whom never built anything and who have some beginners licenses at best and might fly a C-150 or a Tiger once a month. They know nothing, have big mouths and tremendous opinions they broadcast to all who read this forum. Most are not pilots of any stature and some tried it then gave it up, like Amp Meter. Here's a guy who built an RV-6, flew it for awhile, then sold it. He's never flown since I've known him for the past 7 years or so. His experience and his knowledge is highly limited and out-dated, yet he's a regular poster here. I've never seen the guy fly anything or even tell a good flying story in the seven years I've been posting and reading RAH. Everybody likes him because he doesn't cause trouble. Then you have a guy like Pac who is a DC-10 captain with gobbs of fresh experience, and what's the group do? They pick on the guy. Gary Thomas and April were about 20% of who attended PJY this year and Gary is not a pilot or a builder, neither is April. Yeah, they are nice folks, but they can't contribute to anything related to homebuilding or flying. I like Gary and April too, but my point is they are not the data bases that Pac or O'ring or Jarvis or Craig Wall are. You have guys like Burnie the Butt**** who can't fly his armchair hanging out here with his big mouth and giant opinionated posts. He's so much of a coward, he's a chicken**** anonymous poster. Not only that, he wouldn't know an aileron from a rudder. He was probably one of the people you see in the photos that Jay Honeck put up, but he's too much of a coward to stand up for what he says. So, he can hide behind his computer screen and be brave, insulting and threatening. Moon man Munday is another complete loser in my opinion. What the hell can he fly? Is he current, even in a Cessna 150? I doubt it. 95% of you people here are wantabees who will never be. The people who are something are not posting here anymore. Most are building something and flying something. Hell, I've added on 4 ratings since I started posting here while the Moon Men with the big mouths are exactly where they were 7 years ago and some like Ammeter have gone backward in his skills. Even Oysterhouse buys a little experimental airplane, puts it in his hangar for two years and is too afraid to fly it, so he sells it. What a builder! What a tallent! I'm not trying to run these guys down. But the people with the biggest mouths here are not the people who have really done much. I certainly include Sydney in this batch too. I'm not even saying it's good or bad although I think it's bull****. It's just the way it is. This is who you meet at "John's" fly-in instead of the Chuck's, Tony's, Ray Jay's, O'ring's or even Bourbon who only lives a hundred miles away. It wasn't even worth 3 gallons of gas for Bourbon to fly his RV-3 over there this year. He hangs out here because he's an old man, he has the time, and he likes to **** with people. He has some fun here, but he knows that all the flying talent left "John's" fly-in years ago. There's nothing for him to learn over there. So, I'm through. I wanted some of the newbees to know what the PJY gathering is all about from a pilot who has earned 17 ratings, logged 5000 hours in airplanes and 3000 in helicopters and built many airplanes, gliders, ultralights, gyrocopters, etc. I'm not telling anyone not to go to PJY. But, it's not a serious fly-in, like it could have become. It's just a picnic. Just don't expect to meet anyone there that you can learn much from, most of them disappeared long ago. Just my opinion.
