Air Attack

[FN FAL]

Pu-ya-loop.

And in case anyone wanted the lyrics to the song, here they are. That little jingle is apparently permanently branded into my mind:

"Saw a duck and chicken, down by the farm, kickin up the hay and raising such a storm, that I asked the farmer what they was up to...he said, Puyallup, that's what they do...you can do it at a trot, you can do it at a gallop, you can do is so slow that your heart don't palpitate....so don't be late...do the Puyallup"

Begin the beguine!!!

Main Entry: be·guine
Pronunciation: bi-'gEn
Function: noun
Etymology: American French béguine, from French béguin flirtation
: a vigorous popular dance of the islands of Saint Lucia and Martinique that somewhat resembles the rumba

Thanks, dude. That'll take about 24 hours to clear out of my head. And unless you're from Western Washington, you'll probably never guess how to pronounce "Sequim."

The last time I flew into Sequim (to go hiking on the peninsula), there was about 30 kt headwind out of the west. I felt like I was landing a helicopter rather than a 172.

A few folks have asked from time to time about air attack jobs. Presently Interstate Avaition in Washington (pullyup, I think) is looking for air attack pilots for the summer. Just a heads up.

"Peeyu-allup"?

That was fun, but Interstate Aviation is in Pullman, which is a lot easier to pronounce. I'm not sure what they're flying right now. I know a couple of guys who flew for them, and I know the owner; I think they're a good outfit.
