The rotorwing aviation industry here in the States is...fluid, shall we say. There's always more work. There's always another gig. There are always promises. And then comes the phrase "well, you know how this industry is..."
The schedule may be, officially, two weeks on, two weeks off, but until you actually get back to the gig, you don't really trust it. We once rushed to get back to work after Thanksgiving with family, just to be told not only was work not starting the next day but there was no work for winter at all and maybe things would start back up again in April or May.
This time? Lithus has round trip tickets. He is scheduled to leave Richfield, Utah on September 18th and return to Richfield, Utah on October 1st.
I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself. I almost didn't post this, because I didn't want to jinx it. Round trip tickets. What will they think of next...
When I was six, my grandparents gave me a suitcase (blue with big, hot pink flowers). I kept it packed and stored in the closet, just in case there was an adventure and I needed to be ready. It took another 34 years, but I'm finally on the adventure. A published author, married to a helicopter pilot, life is fun, crazy, adventurous, challenging ~ but never dull.
