Let's Hear it Folks ! You Might be a FR8DOG if......

You might be a freight dawg if you begin to resemble a sex offender by the end of the week.

If you were on a first-name basis with Ralph at Brownsville Air Center (in the late 90's/early 2000's; don't know if he's still there).

Dude, he is still there.

[Lear Wanna Be]

ATC says that there is level 3 and 4 storms 10 miles ahead and offer you 20 degrees left. You say no thanks and still don't bother to turn the radar on.

Indy approach says there is a line of storms on your course and they don't see a way through it, you reply...no problem, I will make one.

You buy and expensive sleeping bag to stay warm and then are pissed off cause the company finally fixed the heater.

You realize that your logbook says that you have over 2300 hours in Nxxxxx, but the 1700 hour TBO engines have not been overhauled since you got there.

At 50 miles out you figure it is a good time to do the W&B and manifest.

Your company says that if you squawk an item then they will just remove it.

You return to the ramp in your Lear 20 series to fill up your water bottle. Otherwise, you can't pour water into the leaky seals around the windows at altitude, so it will freeze and help keep pressurization up and stop that freaking whistling. Soda will not work.

You fly a 20 series Lear.

Your jet is not RVSM compliant and you have to fly below FL280 despite being turbojet.

A portable DVD player is now required flight equipment.

- After landing at an un-controlled airport that has been NOTAMed closed because the lights aren't working, you meet your courier, then taxi up and down the taxiway a couple of times to scare the deer away, take off in the dark and call ATC 20 miles later to pick up your clearance.

- Play Tetris until the flare.

 

[osu_av8r]

You might be one if

....if you're out there doing exactly what you told your students NOT to do

 

[Bringupthebird]

You might be a FR8DAWG if...

1. You tell the girl at Prior in BUF, "As a matter of fact that Lear did once belong to Frank Sinatra."

2. You deice your Aerostar with Prestone and a Super Soaker and are looked down on by the guy who uses an old fire extinguisher full of glycol

3. The FAA is distracted from you by the guy who hops out of his 310 while it's still rolling.

4. The Captain you're flying with says, "If we can get 'er in the air we'll shut it down and take 'er home"

5. You unload an Aerostar full of Investors Business Daily to a bum driving a clapped out '79 Volare and at the same moment you both say "Poor Bas-ard"

6. The company gas card is only useful for scraping the ice off your Lance

7. On your employment application you list Prior Aviation - BUF as a previous residence

8. You can get a crew rate on your hotel in UCA (Utica, NY) as long as you're out by 11am. And you're checking in at 7.

9. You're alarm clock and gear warning horn sound the same, and serve the same purpose.

10. On your last day at the freighter you walk into the Chief Pilot's office and say, "Guess what I and the Janitrol heater have in common."

Oh $hit that is f@#*ing hilarious. :laugh: !


EDIT: You might be a FR8DOG if...

I'm sitting in the right seat because I paid $15,000 to sit there.

[AZaviator]

...........if you complete your weight and balance, figure out your V speeds, torque settings, finish all your checklists and runway items while taxiing to the runway.........

 

[Lear Wanna Be]

TO the runway??? You are an over achiever Freight Dawg... 20 min. out maybe...You have great things ahead in your future.

 

[Way2Broke]

You might be a fright dog if you made this video....

I know its a repost from another thread, but he is for sure a freight dog.

 

[Bjammin]

You have to ask DFW center for a radio check because you haven't heard anything for the past 2 hours.

 

[hershjr]

...if you are the only plane on the scope, in ATL class B, and cancel out so the controller can get a cup of coffee before it gets busy again...(do it 3 out of 5 nights)

You might be a freight dawg if you flown and had many beers with that FE in many countries

 

[Lostdog65]

You have to ask DFW center for a radio check because you haven't heard anything for the past 2 hours.

And that's because it's either 3 am or you're not sure if avionics really fixed that number two comm!

[pilotyip]

When you pop up in the middle of the night and ask for a clearance from center for a flt plan you did not file. When center asks for the identifier of your destination, you tell him that you have to look it up, in the mean time you ask, "Could you clear direct with a vector". Not my company but listening to another fr8gh dawg in the middle of the night.

 

[duc driver]

when your actual exceeds your daytime.

 

[JediNein]

When it's been quiet on frequency for 2 hours, Center didn't give you the handoff, and you switch anyway, 'cause you didn't want to wake the previous controller.

And the next controller just assumes you'll be on his frequency at the right time.

The same with the other five company planes that are behind you.

The first sign that you've had a complete radio failure is the tower's green light while you're on short final. But it is unofficial, they don't open for another ten minutes.

You forget your callsign, make one up, and ATC refuses stating they already have two of the same callsigns on frequency. It's only the morning guy that gives you a hassle about it, though.

Fly SAFE!

Your sun visor serves not only as a sun visor. Positioned correctly, it also becomes a nice weather shield keeping snow, rain, and cold air from hitting you.
