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

[twott driver]

You've slept in the plane wrapped in a greasy engine cover because the piece of crap company car won't start again.

 

[HeaDTriP]

over company freq the questions asked if you cloned yourself then had sex with your clone would you be gay and then tower clears you and your clone to land because they were listening to same freq.

takeoff clearance is "takeoff at your own risk"

 

[Avimec]

Might be a fgt dog if center calls and askes if it would be a big deal if you were missing a tire.....cause " You might be."

 

[CoATP]

1. When you can't see the panel because the snow outside is blowing around inside the cabin; leaking thorugh the door seal (unseal)
2.your life consists of eat, sleep, fly and all can occur in any order and simultaneously
3. The radar sweeps, tests, but won't even paint the ground and op checks OK.
4.brakes on one side only are an okay item so you land south to be able to turn off the runway in the right direction
5. You check weather not for go/no go but to see whether you will be late for breakfast.
6. You are carrying live fish and they arrive frozen
7. You divert and the UPS driver goes to the wrrong airport
8. You go to fly a shiny jet at a regional because it has a cockpit door [which closes!] and has a heater and air conditioning that work and then realize this comfort costs you 25k a year in pay

 

[TWA]

There is a mandatory FOD sweep preformed on the runway after each time you take off/land

You stay current by seeing how many times you can bounce the plane on the runway

When you file you just give FSS your tail number and say "The Usual"

Your "apartment" is nothing more than a storage unit

The company has you pay for all your fuel in cash

You sleep in the airplane in you're first on the call list

The heating ducts have been removed from the cockpit to save fuel

Instead of a contrail you have a trail of black smoke

You lose engine 1, and it's no big deal.

You lose engine 2, and it's still no big deal.

You've ditched in the same corn field more than once

2 quarts of Jack Daniels is mandatory survival equipment

[AIR2MUD]

You fly past your destination, only to have center wake you up.

...and you're a really experienced FR8Doggie when you tune the destination ATIS in, make sure the squelch button is pushed in, and crank the volume up all the way...automatic alarm clock at 50 miles out.

 

[AIR2MUD]

If you take in 32 ozs. of bottled water and find that you have to urinated more than the bottles will hold.

That's why you have to have many, many piddle packs. No messing with trying to aim down a 1/2" wide opening with your monster Zeus in hand. Just don't forget to put it away when you're done, unlike my buddy Shorty over in the desert.

Yes, that's where the name came from, too.
