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

[Pyle It]

you might be a Freight Dawg half of your total time is night........

 

[belchfire]

You might be a freight dog if...
You use a plane full of rubber dogsheit and fake puke to search the planet for the perfect beer!

 

[JediNein]

You wake up in-flight not knowing where you are, what time it is, and knowing the engines don't sound right, only to realize you're in cattle class deadheading to the next load.

You're snoozing in the jump seat on another leg and after landing are queried by the NTSB regarding the flight's severe turbulence encounter and subsequent diversion. You can't help as you slept through the whole deal. 'Flight felt fine to me.'

You wake up 10 seconds from touchdown, 'my airplane', and prevent the pay-to-play FO in the right seat from pranging the plane.

You deny the Fed's ramp check request as you haven't had a chance to empty the lav. The Fed says that type doesn't have a lav. He disappears when you say 'I know.'

You upgrade and celebrate. Now you can afford a place with only 3 roommates.

You met your instrument currency last night, including the partial panel non-precision approach with a circle-to-land with a holding pattern in lieu of a procedure turn.

You go back to flight instructing to fly newer airplanes.

Fly SAFE!

Your boss upgrades the freighters with GNS530's...but pulls the HSI's out...

When you get into a newer airplane, and there's no vibration.

..and it scares the hell out of you...

(how do you tell it's runnin'?)

 

[jobear]

While waiting on freight with no other place to go, you decide that with a modest effort the 9-G Net can be strategically re clipped into a makeshift hammock for a few z's.

When Speedy in LRD knows you by name.

When you use the same 9g net as a clothes line to dry out sweat soaked shirts and pants.

 

[big_al]

your idea of a new airplane is one that was built around the year you were born

 

[AZaviator]

When flying through rain you get wet, even though you are inside the cockpit.

When flying through rain you get wet, even though you are inside the cockpit.

I'm pretty sure that's WAY more common in the banner biz. We don't have doors.....or seals on the so called "windscreen." And we fly through rain and under storms a lot unfortunately.

 

[TWA]

A newer airplane is anything manufactured post WWII

You go back to CFIing for more money

As a CFI, you subconsciously add 2 quarts of oil to the engine of the c172, before every flight. You then have a more "at home" feeling after your plane begins leaving its mark on the ramp.

You think a GNS530 is a new video game

You can find your company's parking spot at ORF from the oil stain just to the left of center. That happens to match up with that particular plane's drip pattern.

OH, John- and a good way to clean that windshield in flight is to keep a squeeze type water bottle in the plane. Reach out and stump some fuel, then spray at the base of the windshield. Should cut enough oil off so you can land (or pick). Still gotta wash it later though; it does tend to fog the windshield after a while.

 

[1013dot25hPa]

You might be a FR8 Dog if:

You have to wash your hands before you can take a P!SS

 

[belchfire]

You might be a freight dog if you have ever had a mechanic working on the airplane in flight...

 

[QuasarZ]

Wow... I cant belive I jsut read all of those.. haha. Keep them coming, I like to hear all these!!

 

[Gryphon]

You might be a frieght dog if ATC advises you of smoother air at another altitude... and you don't care...

 

[landlover]

if atc advises left or right of course approved to avoid a level 5 TS and you dont care.


don't deviate, penetrate!!! or you'll be late.

 

[CherryBomb]

If you call places like the above poster's avatar, home....

 

[erichartmann]

"You've ever thought 1sm and 400' OVC is practically VFR."

It isn't? I always thought is was good VFR

You only check the Wx to see how much fuel you need.

 

[erichartmann]

You might be a fr8dwg if you've worked on the airplane in flight.
