it was a pretty long day yesterday... and I posted to Rennlist, but not here. Sorry bout that, as I know some folks don't frequent both groups. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I was accepted to the Army's rotary wing flight school. (Helicopters for you Texas people!) I don't have a school date yet. but I think that I'll probably end up there this summer. Flight school is in Alabama. I am very excited. In fact, I'm so happy that I'm going to sign my name with that little stupid dancing banana.

Yes they did, I'll post some pictures have to scan them in first. The drill rig itself consist of 3 pieces, the engine package, the compressor pkg, the drill skid itself. How setup consists of 6 total pieces. The other three are the fuel or bulk tank 150 gal. The drill basket where the drillers keep their tools, the drill pipe is kept in the drill baskets, fluids, etc. and a rock box, 3'X3'X3' filled with pea gravel which is used to plug the holes once the dynamite is loading in the holes. So these pilots have bubble doors on their side so they can hang out and look straight down on the person on the ground who is going to put all this stuff back together. We use 100 ft to 150 ft long lines under the ship, no headache balls on the bottom of the lines. Think about whats its like in the snow cover mountains where your depth perception is the craps and you've got to disassemble then reassemble these rigs. We run 10 drills spead out 440' apart, when a rig is ready for a move they just leap frog over each other.. 12 shots to a mile, up an over the mountains.
No job like it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) The static electricty is always a morning boost (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I'll post some pics tomorrow. |
