Hey Tenney!

John-

You mentioned that you worked for Eagle. Was it Simmons?

 

[Mr_Creepy]

Nope I was on "The Rock." Executive in SJU. They called us "Sand Monkeys" at the Flight Academy!

 

[derg]

Ha!

The reason I asked was that Skyway used the old "Simmons" uniform cap with the "S" on it.

I jumpsat (jumpseated?!) Simmons a lot between ORD and MKE when I was traveling back to Wisconsin after seeing Kristie.

Flying a Beech 1900, that ATR was about the coolest aircraft on earth at the time.

Nothing says cool like "AC Wild".

 

[Mr_Creepy]

LOL there were always AC Wild jokes on The Rock. I think we had male flight attendant who had that as a nickname.

By the way, mine was Kaiko. Kaiko Jones. Ask someone who hablas espanol about it.

 

[derg]

I'll have to ask my friend Rosa about that!

As in "wild freq?"

 

[Mr_Creepy]

Doug is referring to an unregulated AC circuit in the ATR-42s and 72s referred to as "AC Wild"

but I like the freak reference

Yeah I know, we have this on the Saab too. 115 VAC "wild" frequency gen. Powers our ice protection equipment (besides the boots of course).
