It's simple. You can't nominate yourself, but anyone else is fine. If you nominate me (I'm a professional bum), you get a gold star in my book of Nice People.
Job doesn't have to be "extreme" or unusual (but it sure helps :D ). There should be some people with interesting jobs out there. I know there are some military pilots here?
I nominate Duckwng6. Aside from letting him buy me beer when we meet this summer, his job has personal relevance to me.
He flies Pink:

Should'nt this be a "Caption This" thread?
-
My job is boring.
We got a couple military pilots in here, right? I nominate them - they have the job I wanted since I was old enough to realize I didnt want a real job.
-
LOL yes, let's do that too! :D
My bid would be
Pic 1: "You're a lousy map reader, dude"
Pic 2: "You got a boogie on your nose"
:)
-
I want a plane like that... only if I had thousands of dollars laying around.
Pic 1: This is supposed to be safe.... right?
Pic 2: Let me IN! I left my lunch on your dashboard
-
Pic 1: "Geez Frank, these economy class fares are getting outta
control !"
Pic 2: When good HO's go bad.
-
pic 2.
"I want my 2 dollars!!!"

$10 SOB nominates Funked for his job as a fluffer in the gay porn industry.
-
Frenchy has a pretty cool gig.
Skywriter.

Is that a SHORTS 360?
I can testify the nose wheel casters a full 360 degrees. You can spin a 360 donut on the runway.
-
i nominate hitech for obvious reasons

It's a Skyvan. Very neato airplane. IIRC it has an engine upgrade, so it's really fast to altitude.
-
Not sure if thats a Yes.
Someone years ago thought me getting ground time, and engine run quals in a SHORTS 360 was a real good idea.
We did the checklist and then just spun it in circles.
And ice on it is cool, its a flying wing, its dont need to shed it. Well, it does, but can still fly regardless.
I loved that plane. They are gone though.
-
Forgot to ad. The cockpit is HUGE.

Gotta be Frenchy... hell, he probably wakes up in the morning and thinks, "****, I have to fly today."
-
I nominate my squadmate "Rarebear"
-
Its gotta be Skuzzy ... he gets to play with pc's all day ,
Hit you all over the head with sticks , and Fly AH while getting paid for it .
-
So what does rarebear do?
So far I think Funked is in the lead :D
-
Rarebear owns and flys the F8F reno racer of the same name.

That's not a job , it's a passion :)
-
Next time do it without parachutes, it'll be more exiting. Or loop with enough G:s that you can stand on the roof inverted.
-
I nominate Skuzzy, as we all live in fear of his DELETE key :p
Its good to be King!
-
Lyle is Rarebear in AH?
MiG
-
Question: Do bum, unemployed, and street pharmacist count as jobs?

Yup, for a few years now. :D

Agreed.
What about the guy in Pic 2, If I were him I'd definately be worrying about the second engine spinning, especially since one slightest move by the pilot or guy can send him flying into that thing.

No one said skydivers were intelligent :D.
Looks like he's positioned himself so that should he slip, he'd fall down and to the left. His left leg is in position to push off.
Granted, some rudder or a hard right turn would be bad news.
Pic 1 is scary as well. It may be a twin tail, but it's still possible to strike it.
Then again, Pink is known for doig weird stunts. Zero g exits, that obnocious felix dude with his wings etc.
-
Well, since I can't nominate myself (hey, I love my job), I nominate Zapata. As far as any of us know, this might be him in the back seat.

I think that'd take the cake. But being the refuel guy could also be fun as well. :D
-
Mjolnir do you know what squadron he flies with? I'm a maintainer on those beasts. Thats a 492nd bird there from RAF Lakenheath. I was stationed in that squadron for 3 years. Or atleast thats what the markings on the CFT look like. Looks like the Kestrel on our squadron patch.
-
Cobra, I think he said he was with Blue, although last I heard he was working over in the OSS now. And you're right, that's a Lakenheath bird all right. I was stationed there last year, and my wife got a ride on the 135 (she took the picture).
