Timothy Amiano in South-West Florida

This picture of Timothy and his two rides was taken when my brother served with the Collier County Sheriff's Office Aviation Section in Naples, Florida. In the news article below Timothy says that he was misquoted slightly and that probably for brevity's sake the reporter left out some of the more interesting stuff; like Tim finding the lost family at the same time they were "discovered" by a large territorial black bear, and that he used the helicopter to chase off the charging bear before landing beside the family and their broken down swamp-buggy. And more... (Click to Enlarge)
As a pilot, Timothy has found over 40 individuals lost and in distress in south Florida wilderness areas, and counting...

Please Note: My brother Timothy does not belong to or monitor any social networking websites - no facebook, myspace or twitter for Timothy. (The younger 'Tim Amiano' with those accounts and the skate videos is NOT my brother). You can get my brother Timothy on the phone, email or snail mail and that's it. Timothy is apparently still working on his introversion and on being an "extroverted introvert", that and I think he still believes that computers and most other e-gadgets are just passing fads (kidding, mostly...). Strange for a guy that flies such high-tech live-saving equipment for a living. Different, Odd.





(Odd but good).
