rotor-head 

A derogatory term for a helicopter pilot.

Usually referring to the sort of helicopter pilot that ties up the radio because HE can hover and thus has all the time in the world, or who flies way too low over populated areas because he CAN.

Note: not all helicopter pilots are like this. But the ones that are, get called rotor-heads.

Will that rotor-head please quit hogging the radio so I can make my position report before I bust class D airspace?

Not really a derogatory term, but discriptive. Similar to groundhog.

Don't take your cessna below a thousand feet over a city, you don't want to bother the groundlings.

Make hay while the sun shines 

To take advantage of a brief opportunity while it is still there. To not waste time.

The saying comes from farming communities. There would often be only a short time in which the hay would be ready to cut- reap too soon, and the hay would be too green. Reap too late, and you run the risk of rain ruining it all. Still very good advice.

I just got a good job for the summer- I don't know if I'll have one this fall, but I'll make hay while the sun shines and save up for the winter.
