PILOT BUMS

Postby Chris McKeon » Sun Apr 26, 2026 7:28 am

OK: I am just Thinking about a couple of My PILOT Friends. We all love to Fly OH MY! And like all of IS hard working Americans. They are like us. It then there is one way where We differ with these Pilots. For They either Hope, Plan, Intend on, or have already done what They wanted to do for Years. These Pilot choose to become Bums. O They do not call what They have Devolved into a Life life as being unemployed, or how They describe it as that They are Retired, or is it that They are Retired. No, if One does not go to work to; (Ern a Living) then You are a Bum.

Chris,

You have 4 hours to edit every post you make on U.S. Hawks. During that time, you will see an "Edit" button at the bottom of your post. During those 4 hours, you can click that "Edit" button to edit and change your post as many times as you like.

I strongly encourage you to make it your standard practice to read each of your posts several times after posting. Read them word for word and look for errors. Then use the "Edit" button to correct those errors until your posts are 100% perfect. Remember that you can't just skim your own posts because your brain will only "see" what you intended to write and not what you actually wrote. You have to read each post word for word ... maybe even out loud.

I believe if you follow this practice, it will not only make your posts easier for everyone to read, but it will also improve your thinking skills, writing skills, and your attention to detail. I know for myself that I must read and re-read my posts many times to find errors. Humans make mistakes, but we can fix those mistakes through careful review and re-review and re-re-review.

100% is indeed a big number, but I know you can do it. Just put your mind to it.

Thanks,
Bob

Ok I have done, or should I say that ai have two deals where My Predator was able to generate income. One Day it made $450.00 l. On another day for a Short Flight I was compensated by receiving $850.00. I can only imagine how much Money that a Topless Supership has earned.but it must be in the Thousands of Dollars

Boy when I think about My Predator being in situations where It could be Flown and heck just set up in order to earn Money, I smile. I imagine that I could get My Predator up on a launch that was accessible by foot Traffic. Yes, I could make Myself a Cardboard Sign just like the Bums who loiter standing on street corners. my sign would-Will say. Unemployed Bum, will Fly For Food. I once saw down in Phoenix a Bum standing on a Street corner with a sign that said: "Why Lie, I want a Beer"". I tell You: (You Can't Make thhngs like this Up).
