In the article "Flying in Alaska — The Last Frontier," Will Dabbs, MD recounts his experiences during his military service in Alaska. Despite his initial desire to be stationed in Europe, Uncle Sam sent him to Alaska, a place vastly different from his humid upbringing in the Deep South. Dabbs describes the unique and challenging conditions of Alaska, from the intense cold to the stunning natural beauty. As an operations officer and later an aviation liaison officer, he flew CH-47D Chinook helicopters across the state, participating in numerous missions, including high-altitude rescues and resupply operations. He shares vivid memories of the rugged wilderness, abundant wildlife, and the camaraderie of military life. Through these experiences, Dabbs developed a deep appreciation for Alaska, despite the hardships of service and the extreme environment.

More self-indulgent DE bush pilot AU. Harry was volun-told to help the new pilot unload and move his belongings into his new residence.

Electrochemistry - You should go through his things. Maybe he's brought some good stuff from the *outside*.

Encyclopedia - Jamrock has drug and alcohol problems just like any remote northern town in Revachol. However, due to access points being limited to air and, water during the warmer months, illicit substances are harder to come by than in other, more connected communities.

Esprit De Corps - I highly doubt an ex-lieutenant of the Revachol Air Force is a drug mule.

Conceptualization - Yes, ex-lieutenant. He may look like he has a stick up his ass, but he might've been kicked out of the military.

Empathy [Easy: Success] - He's definitely too straight-laced for drug smuggling.

Logic [Trivial: Success] - He also wasn't kicked out of the military for misconduct. You were literally in the office when McLaine and Torson shared what they had dug up about him. They said he was released under service completed.

Electrochemistry - Still, when's the next chance we're going to have to see his stuff.

Logic - People's belongings say a lot about a person.

You - OK maybe just a quick peek.

Perception [Challenging: Success] - You quietly lift the lid of the sturdy box you're crouched beside. The shadow from the plane's wing makes it hard to see what's inside, but you can somewhat make out the shape of... a sewing machine?

Kim Kitsurag - "Khm, Officer."

Reaction Speed [Easy: Fail] - Shit!

Composure [Easy: Fail] - Shit!

Volition - Busted.

[deadpresidents]

To give a more serious answer to that earlier question about whether any Presidents were able to fly, yes, there were three who were trained as pilots.

The most famous is indeed George H.W. Bush, who was the youngest U.S. Navy aviator during World War II, and flew 58 combat missions in the Pacific during the war. He was shot down during a bombing mission over Chichi Jima, an island in an archipelago between Guam and the Japanese mainland in September 1944 and had to be rescued from the Pacific Ocean by an American submarine. That was just a few months after he was also forced to ditch his TMB Avenger bomber in the ocean -- while it still was fully loaded with the bombs for the mission he was on -- and barely escaped the plane before it exploded.

His son, George W. Bush, had a much-less decorated and much-more maligned military "career", but he was trained as a military aviator in the Texas National Guard. Bush 43's most famous flight was as a passenger while President when he landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln for the infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech, but he was definitely a trained pilot.

The first President to earn a pilot's license was actually Dwight D. Eisenhower. Despite his background as a career military officer, Eisenhower was not trained as a military aviator -- he earned a private pilot's license in 1939.

Time Ram: The Co-Pilot

You WILL get wet. You MAY get soaked. It's Time Ram, with Barry Williams (not the cricket writer), Paul Ferry (not from Maggie), and Rupert Booth (NOT the fucking bear!!!). And it's the beginning of a new era of the Fourteenth Doctor's new spinoff with The Pilot. Starring David Againnant as the Doctor, Bonnie Langford as Mel, and Venita Richie Millie Gibson Anya Westbrook Eva Sharples June Brown Poloma Faith the robot Donald Pleasance Kim Kardashian Fearne Brady Rose Matafeo Awkwafina as Jill Trude. Yes. Good.

Tennant's taking a page from ol' Chronotis' book while talking fourteen to the dozen. Mel's arm is Mel-functioning after watching attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. And there's really not much to change, actually, so tune in for the lads pitching a series of films starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine!

In the article "Flying in Alaska — The Last Frontier" published on The Armory Life and written by Will Dabbs, MD, the author recounts his experiences as a helicopter pilot stationed in Alaska during his military service. Hoping for an assignment in Europe, Dabbs was instead sent to Alaska, where the challenging weather and rugged terrain became his new reality. He describes the transformative experience of flying CH-47D Chinook helicopters across vast, pristine landscapes, including daring missions and breathtaking natural beauty. The narrative highlights the harsh conditions and unpredictable wildlife, such as wolves and grizzly bears, and the camaraderie formed within his unit. Dabbs shares stories of unique survival exercises and historical aircraft wrecks encountered, ultimately expressing both the hardships and the profound impact of serving in America's last frontier.

Things that would fix me rn:

Once again blasting that Linkin Park/Evanesence/Eminem Breaking the Habit mix while on this secret mountain side fishing camp for the helicopter to return so I could hot fuel it and send it back on it's journey. Cause back in August that fixed me in ways I could only dream of 😌

Fuck it, DE bush pilot AU.

I have so many thoughts

Jamrock is a small northern, subarctic/high boreal community in the province of Revachol. Martinaise is the nearby port. I'm thinking like, Northern Quebec/Hudson Bay-adjacent vibes.

Anyways, the 41st is Jamrock's small police outpost. Some of the other officers have other jobs or community positions. Harry is an officer, but also part-time school teacher. He's trying his best, but the social and economic struggles of the remote community weigh heavy on him, and he struggles.

Kim is a pilot who found himself semi-forcibly transferred to Jamrock. Still figuring out the scenario that landed him there. I can't decide if he's like, discharged from the military or something. Maybe he tried becoming a fighter pilot, but his eyesight is too poor, so he ends up taking a remote pilot posting. At the moment, he mainly ferries people, supplies, and mail. Also, one of the local teachers/police officers keeps trying to talk to him for some reason.

I just think Kim deserves to be a pilot. And because I have personal experience with bush planes, I say he gets to be a bush pilot. I think it's actually quite fitting. Bush pilots are a special breed that I think fits Kim's secret speed freak nature.
