Had to work Sunday, I should be paying the company

I was to have had the weekend off. Well our helicopter broke down in Albuquerque. We got the parts shipped in Sunday morning and flew our spare airplane, a King Air down to ABQ. It took almost 3 hours to fix the helicopter, then we headed back home.

Along the way there is this pinnacle that many people climb. On top is an ammo can with a book to sign. We landed on top after circling to be sure there were no climbers. Great view from up there.

Here's some pics. Ya I don't mind "working" on Sunday!

Now that's what I call a "perk"! Thanks for sharing, Tim.

Thanks Timbo. I'll have to find some pics from up near Ouray and Telluride, those are some fun flights for sure.

Here's another of our airplane.

You signed the guest book.. right?

Looks like you got an awesome job! I'd love to learn how to fly a helicopter sometime this lifetime..

What do you all fly? My bro flies for AmeriStar out of El Paso. Lear Jets but I have no idea the model.

Great little weekend trip. Of course, a bunch of cuties waiting on top of the pinnacle would have made the trip oh so much better

I'm sure they were there....but you do have to leave something for the imagination!

Besides, he looks like the kind of guy who won't kiss and tell.

Well I don't fly for a living, just turn wrenches. I do have like 50 hours of time in my books. This helicopter is really stable.

We fly a Bell 222U helicopter, a Pilatus PC12 turboprop, and a Beech King Air E90 spare. No Lears yet

is that the airwolf helicopter ? if so you should turn it into airwolf. lol Now that i think about it airwolf has a kind of upside down FJ color scheme to,White on the bottom and black/dark green on top . Cool pics i am envious of guy to get paid to fly helicopters and planes because i always wanted to learn how but never got the chance yet.
