qxsoupI met Otto Pilot today... sort of
Long story short... Him and I work for the same company. I have talked with him on the phone briefly before but today was the first time I've had an interaction with him. He was absolutely the most professional person I have met in years.
In my ~10 years as a member here he is the first person that I have had the chance to meet/talk to.

jhe888Otto is a good guy.
The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. August 27, 2018, 07:55 AM
Mars_AttacksHe came to N GA and visited with us once.
He even went flying with SC. His most memorable statement was "Boy that sure is a short runway and that sure is a BIG mountain at the end of it."

I had similar thoughts at that airport. I knew that we would be able to depart safely
IF nothing went wrong. I just kept visualizing an engine failure right after lift-off and thinking that there was absolutely nothing safe to do if that were to happen.

ScreamingCockatooOtto and I had a ball while he was here!
He's a great guy!
I let him fly the Beech.
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.

Otto PilotThanks guys, I'm all blushing.
qx, thanks for the getting all the work done on your side of the house as fast as you did. It was still a goat rope, but at least the paperwork and planning was solid. Lord knows the FAA has ended more pilot careers than the weather ever will.

You're quite welcome. I am glad to help.
