A Happy BertDay to the one and only, the original taco-meister, the coffee pot magistero and sleuth, the foreign agent, and CSI himself ... Mr NorBerto Rivera.
Yes, Bert carries a certain air about him in the cockpit. Even in the earliest days as a fledgling AAV co-pilot, he displayed that take-charge attitude - particular the day he gassed the rest of the flight deck crew.
So on this anniversary celebration, let me propose a toast on behalf of the senior pilots at AAV, "May you be Bert's next co-pilot!"
p.s. - All you young whippersnappers should take lessons in gentility from this elder young whippersnapper.
p.p.s - In honor of this BertDay, I suggest you post your favorite Bert story here. (For you that have not yet figured it out, truth is no criteria here. In fact, this may not even be the real BertDay. Has anyone actually seen the birth certificate? What's that? You say it's lost just life that other guy's? A connection? You think so?)

Happy Bertday Bert. I hope for the safety of all the managers and pilots here at AAV that you didn't spend it at a mexican establishment. You didn't did you?

HB!
The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be?--it is the same the angels breathe.
