Athene Airheart's definitions

airport

Airports are places where various aircraft take off and land from. There are big, busy airports, like O'Hare International, and there are small, quiet airports like where I am writing from, Olympia Regional.

Many airports have flight schools where you can learn to fly an airplane or a helicopter. Smaller airports have plenty of airport bums and ramp rats, which is a good thing since flying is fun to watch.

Sometimes airports will have museums, restaurants, and other fun activities.

I am happy because I found a job at the airport, renting out planes and answering phones.

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.

wing wiper

A term used to describe a member of the US Air Force.

Probably comes from the Air Force's reputation for being neat and orderly.

Did ya see that wing-wiper over there? Bet I could arm wrestle him.

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.

schnoodle

Addendum to my previous definition of schnoodle:

More precisely, a schnoodle is two guys sharing one foreskin in an erotic manner. Head to head. Ya dig?

The two guys were really into each other so they started some hot schnoodle action.

Hangar Hound

Someone who spends a lot of time around aircraft. See ramp rat, airport bum.

A "hangar" is a structure in which aircraft are kept. Many times you will find mechanics and/or pilots spending time there, talking about flying and telling stories. A Hangar Hound need not be a pilot or mechanic, but can just like being near aviation.

I had a good chat with the other hangar hounds the other day, we were discussing the air show coming up in June.
