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.

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.

The word has roots in "Crew Chief," who is a person in charge of maintaining a particular aircraft.

That Goo Chief is going to have a really big mess to clean up after the party!
