Athene Airheart's definitions

pilot

1. Anyone who can fly an aircraft. Pilots can be military, commercial, or fly for pleasure.

2. In general, a fairly skilled and intelligent individual who had the guts to get into an aircraft and learn how to fly it. Often possessing of a "higher" mindset. Most of us are good lookin,' too.

Joke to prove I have a sense of humor too:

How do you know if a pilot is at a cocktail party?

He'll tell you.
"The ultimate responsibility of the pilot is to fulfill the dreams of the countless millions of earthbound ancestors who could only stare skyward and wish."

groundhog

Similar to groundling but slightly ruder. Someone who can't fly.
I'd like to have started flight school at sixteen but my dad is too much of a groundhog.

scrub

This is also 1930's slang for a poor college student.
Matthew is a real scrub. I don't think he ever leaves the campus, and he has a hard time getting a job- but he's a good guy.

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?

aviator

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.

"Boy, he horfed all over the floor!"

ramp

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.
