what did you do to this poor guy?

7/28/2009 1:44:59 PM

Haha...He rode shotgun on a cross country flight to Wilmington and puked crabcakes all over the cockpit.

Of course he waited until the halfway point on the flight when we were near absolutely nothing and then sat in his own vomit for 45 minutes.

7/28/2009 1:51:35 PM

OMG I bet that stunk

7/28/2009 1:52:30 PM

I guess it's not like the cars where you can roll down the window and puke outside.

7/28/2009 1:53:28 PM

totally unrelated (and because this thread needs some non-sick up in here)

7/28/2009 1:54:29 PM

Oh yeah. I landed with my head out the window.

I told him to find clean clothes while I cleaned up the plane and he ended up walking over to the main terminal and bought the only clothes he could find: a "Wilmington" shirt and some size 28 board shorts. It always reminds me of the scene in Pulp Fiction when they shot Marvin then had to borrow ill fitting clothes from their buddy.

You can actually! He just decided that he would rather puke in his lap and then hold his legs together for the rest of the flight to contain it.

^ Peyton! That's my old dane who passed away in September. Such a beast. RIP.

Awwwww

RIP

The new dane is named Butler. He turned one year old last tuesday and is already up to a whopping 105 pounds.



When the alarm goes off in the morning he lays on top of me so that I can't get out of bed.

7/28/2009 2:00:23 PM

thats so funny, all over a nice vest too.

7/28/2009 2:00:26 PM

GOSH he's a cutie!!!

I love pups!

7/28/2009 2:01:01 PM

He changed clothes in the terminal bathroom and then tried to leave with a plastic shopping bag full of puke soaked clothes. Apparently security stopped him and insisted on searching the bag, despite his warnings. They were not pleased.

7/28/2009 2:01:48 PM

hmm a good way to recycle your plastic shopping bags....

keep them in your plane for guests to vom in

7/28/2009 2:06:34 PM

any time I vom or shit myself, I throw the clothes away, no exceptions

even a thousand dollar suit...psychologically I could never wear it again

7/28/2009 2:07:43 PM

yeah good point, where was the vom bag haha?


and that's a lot of puke, he would need multiple

7/28/2009 2:09:14 PM

or keep some zofran or dramamine in there

7/28/2009 2:10:57 PM

CUTE PUPPY, DO WANT

7/28/2009 2:11:15 PM

7/28/2009 2:12:05 PM

I would like to see more pictures of this Butler.

7/28/2009 2:14:47 PM

I snatched a few off of facebook. I really need to find some more recent ones.


ROMP ROMP ROMP


ARE YOU MY MOTHER?

7/28/2009 2:22:47 PM

i think that guy sold me clothes at j. crew. his name is jon, maybe?

7/28/2009 2:23:48 PM

oh fuck, the dog with the cupcakes if the first time I've laughed at anything on this site in months

gg

7/28/2009 2:24:23 PM

^^ That's him.

7/28/2009 2:24:39 PM

how many times do you have to stop and refuel a plane that size on a cross country flight?

7/28/2009 2:29:10 PM

Just to clarify, cross-country doesn't mean literally across the U.S. I mean, it could mean that, but it doesn't inherently imply it.

7/28/2009 2:29:58 PM

Cross country just means >50 miles between landings. You need a certain number of cross country hours logged in before you can get an instrument rating.

I knew a couple of guys who took a C172 from the Orlando area to L.A. and it took about 25 hours each way. I'd guess at least 5 refueling stops.

7/28/2009 2:32:22 PM

yeah it does

its like a crossover a dribble

you cross from one side----to the other

7/28/2009 2:33:10 PM

^^^,^^ i did not know these things.

7/28/2009 2:35:04 PM

What, no barf bags?

7/28/2009 2:50:12 PM

Butler decided last night that he's terrified of the ceiling fan in my room.

While it's kind of sad, it makes it really easy to get him off of the bed.

9/16/2009 7:50:38 PM

i don't have a ceiling fan in my room...

he can sleep on my bed

9/16/2009 8:08:55 PM

That dog is awesome.

Do want

I tried this with a piss-filled bottle of Gatorade in a Bell 206 once. Did not end well . . .

12/9/2009 7:22:31 PM

It seems like the downdraft from the rotor would complicate that.

12/9/2009 11:44:17 PM

oh lol "crabcakes"

12/9/2009 11:54:31 PM

^^ Yeah, a buddy of mine told me about time he was riding in the back on an instrument flight and couldn't find anything to pee in, so he just filled up the pitot tube cover, dumped it, refilled, dumped, etc. Similar results ensued.

12/10/2009 7:22:21 AM

I flew next to a guy who calmy lifted the magazine holder on the seat in front of him and proceeded to spew at least 80 ounces of bright orange puke inside, then sit back up in his seat, wipe his mouth, look at me and non chalantly say "Fucking turbulence, man...gets me every time"

of course, chain reaction, I yak too, but at least I made it to bathroom

12/10/2009 8:30:35 AM

how much does it cost to fill the tank in one of those planes?

12/10/2009 8:40:39 AM

12/10/2009 8:49:35 AM

^^ 54 gallons at $4-$5 per gallon.

12/10/2009 1:07:23 PM

^ The Andalusia-Opp airport was rolling in the money today. When we rolled in there were at least 5 60s, and 6 or so OH-58s. Assuming each aircraft was at half a bag and got topped off:

UH-60: 180 gallons ea x 5 = 900
OH-58: 38 gallons ea x 6 = 228
1128 x ~ $3.25 (not sure what the contract price is) = $3666


and that was in just the 30 minutes we were there.

whats funny to me is that I have seen this dude countless times and I have yet to see him without a vest on. Summer, Winter, Fall doesn't matter. I notieced it a while back so ever time I see him I take note "Is he wearing a vest today?!"

12/11/2009 12:49:38 AM

One of my students a couple of years ago puked out the window (mostly) with some trickle to the back seat of a 172. I almost instinctively went for the air duct and turned it to full blast right on my face. I'm pretty sure I did it faster than I was trained to put the oxygen mask on in the jet.

Puke smell in an enclosed space. No thanks.

12/11/2009 2:09:31 AM

Meet gibson, worlds tallest dog. Over 7 feet when he stands up. How tall is butler?

12/12/2009 8:56:22 PM

^holy shit

12/12/2009 8:59:43 PM

this is sure to work

12/12/2009 9:09:50 PM

I'm 6'4" and we're eye to eye when he stands up and puts his paws on my shoulders.

12/12/2009 10:53:45 PM

thats what great danes look like as puppies/?!?!??!
OMG

12/13/2009 6:49:19 AM

holy shit that dog is big!

12/13/2009 11:27:23 AM

^^ All teeth and paws.

Butler's tail was actually much longer than his legs as a puppy and he was constantly tripping on it. He's since grown into it.
