The first time I tried to do this....I didn't read the instructions. Sorry for asking a question...without really introducing myself. (would like to delete that first try but can't figure it out) :whiteflag:

So..here goes; My name is Russell...but I go by Rusty with friends and family. I'm a graduate of La. Tech University with a degree in aviation. I hold an ATP multi. ,former CFI. w/ single eng.land/sea, and a type in Ce500. I have logged 11000 hr. total time. Most of that in single eng sea. ie Cessna 185 and 206 amphib. All of it in southern Louisiana in the past 25 years. Other a/c consist of: c-150,172,310,402C,Beech E90,B200,A36,D95,Be33,B58, De'Havilland DHC-3 MarkII, and my G35.

I now live in Southern Mississippi, (McComb). I own a Be- 35G -N4232D. I purchased it 5 years ago and have been working on upgrades since.

Currently, I no longer fly for a living. I am now working for a company called Oceaneering. We operate remotely operated underwater vehicles in the Gulf of Mexico.
My position currently is a Senior Technician/Supervisor, involved in hyd/and electronics.
Going on 12 years working offshore, including 5 of those years on the former "Deep Water Horizon". I'm 57 years old.

Looking forward to conversation with this forum and I will try to up load some photos now.

Sincerely,
Rusty Robichaux

Welcome Rusty!

Nice to have another Techster on board. Go Dawgs!

I spent quite a few years running around SE LA before a brought the family to Texas.

My first flights were at Hammond, LA with a few cross countries in the area.... Prentiss, Hattiesburg and a few other MS airports come to mind before I finished at KNEW.

You'll have to share some more pics of the float plane days.

Looks like an imposter to me...............the Rusty Robicheaux I know has an amphib chronically stuck to his butt.
