Branching Aviation means never having to walk further than the chow hall.
Which is why the stereotypical Warrant Officer is fat...
And BillT sends yet another picture for my collection (obsession? your call)
He says "Chit-hook drivers *love* to play in the dirt". Heh. If you only knew...

If a scout pilot made an approach that kicked up a dust storm half that size, he'd lose his PC orders!

But you never saw fat Huey, Cobra or Loach (as in, OH-6) drivers.
Just Walkin' Warrants and Chit-hook 'n' Crash Hawk drivers...
*scooting for the bunker*
If a Scout pilot were to kick up a storm like that, he's probably in the wrong aircraft!
Bill ~ the Huey pilots weren't fat because stress from being shot at will kill your appetite. As for the Loach and Cobra pilots, they had to be skinny to fit IN the aircraft!

Kinda reinforces my point, dunnitt?
But stress didn't kill my appetite, the -- ahem -- "food" in the mess hall did...
powdered eggs will do that to ya, won't it?
Yep -- among other things.
Would this subject have arisen if you hadn't been "Currently Eating: Beer Bread" for the past month or so?
It's good bread! Shall I send you come? The beer is baked so technically it's not in violation of General Order #1...
I just got a letter from KtLW that was postmarked 10 April. By the time the beer bread got here, it'd be a beer brick...
*sigh*

Which is the same thing as saying, "A scout pilot COULDN'T kick up a storm like that"! 1/5 the total rotor disk, 1/10 the gross weight ...
Uncle R ~ true. True.
BillT ~ good point. What else do you like?

Mint chocolate chip ice cream.
And you can drop *that* idea right now, thenkew veddy much...
