The assistant to the Goo-Chief at the Olympic Flight Museum and elsewhere.
The Pile-it is in charge of picking things up and piling them.
The name comes from "pilot" who is the natural counterpart of a Crew Chief. Except, in this case, the Goo Chief has more rank than the Pile-it, which is opposite to how the original positions are.

A dashing and heroic personage! See pilot. A member of the elite company of the human race that can actually slip the surly bonds of Earth. They can fly, too.
Old fashioned aviators wear leather helmets and flight jackets and silk scarves and goggles. New fashioned ones fly Beechcraft Bonanzas while sipping cappuccino. Both are just a leetle bit cooler than the average groundling.

Pulling out of the loop, the aviator sent her biplane into a death defying spin and landed perfectly in front of the crowd at the airshow.

At an airport, a ramp is a place where aircraft are parked. It is a large flat concrete or asphalt area, that usually has places to tie down planes.
See ramp rat.

I landed at Olympia Regional Airport in my cessna, taxied on to the ramp, tied my plane down, and winked at the cute fueller who brought the fuel truck.

In the movie business, "take one" is the first try at filming a particular scene. It is what is called out at the beginning. If the actors mess up the lines, etc, it will go to "take two" or "take three" or "take forty-seven."
