East Texas Helicopters Charter Service

May 31st, 2011


 

I came across this very cool East Texas business this morning. It’s an air charter service called East Texas Helicopters (ETH). As a kid I was watching television in the eighties when shows like Air Wolf, Blue Thunder and most especially Magnum PI ruled the ratings market. Back then, the idea of having one’s own helicopter charter business seemed like the coolest job in the world to me. Much cooler and more attractive than teaching! And as much as I admired “Thomas Magnum,” it was his friend “T.C.” whose job I most wanted. Remember T.C. was the one who owned his own Chopper and flew patrons around the Hawaiian Islands on special tours. I’m fairly sure the day to day ins and outs of the job are not really as glamorous as they were portrayed on television however.

Anyway, come to find out, there is a Helicopter charter business here I East Texas. It seems they service the Tyler, Longview, Kilgore, Jacksonville region. As far as I can tell they’re largely a one ship operation (again much like T.C.), the primary chopper being an R44 Raven II. On their Facebook page however, they do have a couple of other choppers pictured, so I’m not sure how many they actually run. In terms of advertising and public relations, the only web page they operate is linked through KLTV, which is not a terrible strategy in guess, since that’s how I found them. (As I mentioned earlier, they also have a Facebook page). On the site, ETH lists the services they offer. They’re available for tours, aerial photo shoots and surveys, patrolling power lines, or just public rides. The cost comes to almost a hundred dollars for every half hour, which given the cost of fuel these days seems pretty reasonable to me. If I read their pages correctly, it seems they also frequent Canton Trade Days where they offer rides to the fair going public. For more information on this fascinating business, visit their webpage at http://www.kltv.com/category/174993/east-texas-helicopter . Readers can also go to their Facebook page by clicking on the following link: http://www.facebook.com/EastTexasHelicopters?sk=wall .

Wingstop and football a new tradition in Texas

August 31st, 2009

This is one of my favorite times of the year, when I can watch the Rangers on one channel and the Cowboys on the other. And what goes better with football, than a basket of hot wings and seasoned fries? In fact, Show me a guy who doesn’t love football and hot wings and I’ll show you a girl. Ok so I agree, that may be a little bit rash but admit it, I’m not far wrong. Oh, and I apologize to all those cool gals out there who happen to love both of those things. Well in what seems a match made in heaven, Troy Aikman has renewed his contract to promote Wingstop for another three years. Like the rest of Texas, I say, if Troy Aikman says something’s good, it’s got to be good!

Wingstop was founded in 1994 in Richardson Texas, were the company headquarters remains today. Since that time they have grown into a nationwide franchise with over six hundred locations and Troy as their poster boy. But this restaurant is not all marketing. The food is in fact tremendous.  There are nine different flavors of wings: atomic, Cajun, original (hot), mild, hickory smoked barbeque, lemon pepper, garlic parmesan, Hawaiian, and teriyaki. The servings are available in ascending volumes: ten wings (which really serves one), twenty wings, thirty five (which serves several) fifty, seventy five, and one hundred wings, which is perfect for those big Cowboy’s games. Don’t forget that those also come with those incredible Wingstop seasoned fries.

While the Wingstop franchise is not technically a local East Texas business, it is a Texas company, and with celebs like Troy Aikman, and now Jerry Jones, hocking their wares the Cowboy name is definitely going to help sell some wings here. While the service is quick and takeout is available the chain firmly asserts that they are not fast food.

Personally, I don’t much care what you call it. Quality is quality regardless of the name. So with baseball season winding down and football season heating up, take a break from the usual pizza and pretzels, and try a Texas favorite. Both you and Troy Aikman will be glad you did.
