Took my checkride this morning and it went great. Can't wait to hit the line.

Good luck in training Doug....it's been a sweet sim to "fly". Now onto IOE and see what the real thing is like.

You with that huge SDF based airline?

chrisdahut1 · December 29th, 2006, 13:19

Nah, I wish! I'm with the much, much smaller Tulsa based one.

OldTownPilot · December 29th, 2006, 15:02

Tulsa based...CRAF flying? ..... that does a lot of stops in BGR?

Aero_Engineer · December 29th, 2006, 20:20

frog_flyer · December 29th, 2006, 20:25

That's the one! And I haven't actually heard the term CRAF since we had to watch those chem. suit demo videos in initial. It was painful.

OldTownPilot · December 31st, 2006, 01:20

Well I'll see you around the airport then. I'm the little blonde guy that works nights over at Comair.

They no longer keep their money in a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Instead they put them on a Visa check card. What,you haven't seen that commercial?

Just wondering what the secret is, curious minds and all...

OldTownPilot · December 31st, 2006, 19:44

its OAI not whatever drunk FF said

Omni Air International

frog_flyer · December 31st, 2006, 19:57

I wasn't drunk. Just an honest typo!

So will you be flying to all sorts of durka-durkastans and llamabads? I know you dudes fly the troops around a ton. I assume that's what CRAF is.

How's that work anyway? Do you fly in to a base and pick them up or do they show up at an airport for a normal charter?

H46Bubba · December 31st, 2006, 20:19

Depends on what type of unit and where the unit is deploying from. Most NG and reserve units go to a major Army installation for 6 months of predeployment training and then they deploy for a year. Most of the large Army bases have airfields. If not they get bussed to an AFB or to an airfield that can accomidate large a/c. For the Navy and Marines, they usually take the slow boat ride. If not they leave the from a Naval Air Station, Marine Corps Air Station, AFB or the nearest airfield cabable of handling large a/c.

Congratulations

WestIndian425 · December 31st, 2006, 22:04

Congratulations to you, man!

E6BAV8R · January 3rd, 2007, 02:30

Congrats. I'm assuming CRAF is what OAI does? My friend and I spent a lot of time at TUL flying in and out. I'm over at Stillwater (OSU). Still love the airport over there. I know the Seargent that is head of the ANG F-16 base there.

I also have a friend that works for OAI - although he is not a pilot.

SeanD · January 3rd, 2007, 02:35

I see OAI here at LAS. I think its a daily flight to Hawaii on the DC-10. The 75s are here a lot also.
