HUGE thanks to Stone Cold (Joe V.)!!

FutrLftSeat82 · May 31st, 2007, 10:42

This man is a true example of what "paying it forward" is all about! Just wanted to throw out another quick THANK YOU for an awesome experience! Never in my life did I expect to get to tour/check out a Lear 60

...I now have a renewed drive to never give up in pursuing my career as a pilot. When I "get there", I will definitely pass on the favor. Thanks again Joe! You 'da man!!!

Doug will be proud.

Joe's a straight up guy. Only two things though.....

he likes the Cowboys

and

can't stand the cold.

Not a problem!!! Just glad the timing worked out like it did for you guys!!!

Just remember it when you're flying a jet around and you can hook somebody up!!!

No doubt - stonecold is a great guy. Helped me out with every little question I had about airnet and even wrote me a recommendation. Next time I'm in FL he's getting all the beer he can drink!

Hey Stone Cold, did you get to tour the "cruise ship"/"gator freighter" ?

True 'dat! He's a real stand-up guy...willing to answer any questions I had about... well, anything about jets/flying/etc. Free beer is the least I can do!! New York was good to Joe!! haha!

Unfortunately, we couldn't get him over to the ship. He can give more details, but all I know is that there was a fuel pump issue with the left engine...and something about taking forever to actually get a part...so it set them back a little far to actually make it over. We still got him over across the Hudson and taken care of by many a generous NY'er though. Next time I reckon...

desertdog71 · June 1st, 2007, 00:59

Yep,

Joe is one of the good guys. He has been a positive influence for me as well.

Captain_Bob · June 1st, 2007, 02:17

He's good at golf too...

jtrain609 · June 1st, 2007, 04:05

Joe's a hack, a squid, a former freight dawg and bald! How can you trust a combo like that!?

Seriously though Joe's a killer guy, I can't say enough great things about him.

I'll hold you to that beer offer...I used to be able to drink with the best of them...now I'm getting older and not as expensive!!

Yeah, we had a fuel issue and had to take care of that, so it was a late day but I think it was worth it. All the NY'ers were awesome to all of us!! Glad I finally made it to Fleet Week...and I didn't even have to wear a uniform!!!!
