Baptism by fire...and Jet-A

[BCTAv8r]

One of the reasons I disliked fueling helos is because we had to change the nozzle from the j-spout to the cylindrical one. The adapter never fit quite right and more fuel would go on the ground than in the gas tank. Most of the time I just used the j-spout anyways.

R-44/22s on the other hand were extremely friendly to fuelers.

You only make $10/hr as a shift supervisor? That has got to hurt.

Yeah, we definitely should. I can start writing it, but I'm pretty busy with school so far.

And someone asked...But I work at Atlantic Aviation at KILG (Wilmington, DE) which is a Class D airport.

Yep.

I ended up doing a lav service on the Hawker. No donut??? Weird. The guy helping me asked the pilot 3 times if it had one, and it even said "no donut" on the port. We get $10 for every lav service we do as an incentive. No one told me until after I had done a couple. Doh!
