SmitteyB · April 3rd, 2008, 21:54

I've been meaning to get these up here. Hopefully some of you will enjoy them as much as I do.

My Girl up with me at 3:30am for a 5:00am show.

Explain to me why I live in Upstate NY again?

Preflight on this old Pinnacle SAAB.

Settled in...

Okay...STBY PUMP on at 10 PSID...or wait MAIN PUMP at 5 PSID...Screw it, it's in OVRD, it's running.

ACP (Audio Control Panel)

In cruise, gorgeous morning.

15,000 feet at 240 KIAS.

Getting set up for the Expressway Visual 31 at LGA.

Manhattan from above.

LGA...

"Dot, I still can't login....................................please call me back."

The typical, first day smile...

SAAB SIM St. Louis

Colgan Training Center

Love of my life...

Great photo's

, I have never seen IOE photo's before!

ajf005 · April 3rd, 2008, 23:38

Nice pictures! I did all my sim training in that sim in STL..for Mesaba though. Whats the deal with the fuel pressure caption? Is that an A or straight B model limitation (we only have B+)? Maybe ive just forgotten some of my systems knowledge. Have you had a greaser yet? Its hard to do in the Saab

Smittey, Is it me, or does your dog look sad(A) That you are leaving,or (B) That she got up at 3:30 AM?

Good luck to you with your career.

astrowhip · April 4th, 2008, 16:05

Great pics, but I never gave you permission to post a pic of my girlfriend.

SmitteyB · April 4th, 2008, 17:43

I'm glad you guys liked them.

Only a few were from IOE, the rest were from my day to day operations at Colgan.

It's hard to believe I've been at Colgan for 8 months already.

Polar742 · April 5th, 2008, 00:13

Great pics!!!

Ahhh, the old expressway 31. Hit the tanks, make the right, do the turn-around-a-point around Shea, put it down, and don't cross 4....

My second fav behind the well-annotated River Vis 19DCA

Third is the Cruise-ship visual 9 into EYW (I invented the name, but it involves passing the docked cruiseship in a nice bank so the cruise boat pax got a nice view

)

Pietrantonio · April 7th, 2008, 18:28

Awesome pics. The new USAirways colors look good on the Saab. Thanks for sharing the pics!

BigGuyFlying · April 8th, 2008, 18:35
