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

[flydaddy0499]

If you have ever sworn you never saw the condition notice.

If you have ever brought your handheld radio for primary comms and used the panel radios as BACKUPS!

If you have ever shot a GPS approach with your handheld.

 

[minitour]

I'm assuming that by CATERING....you're referring to the stuff out of the food simulator.

Food simulator ????

[TIGV]

lololololol Lmao !!!!

Food Simulator !

Keep 'em coming !

 

[Whale Rider]

....when you go to recurrent, and the second they turn the lights down to start the overhead presentation, you struggle to listen over the "opera" of snoring.

 

[7dustfan]

You are a real FR8DOG when:

1. you have to refuel and de-ice your airplane by yourself in -40 F.
2. Climb through a ladder to get inside the cockpit.
3. You have to use a oxygen canula so you don't pass out at FL 190.
4. The airplane does not have an auto pilot and you're single pilot IFR.
5. you use the map mode on your sh!ty green radar as makeshift DME to an airport with only an NDB approach.

Having a multiple leg trip end two hours after the same time you awoke the previous day - (no cheating; in the same time zone).

Being awake 24 hours in a row is a "standard" day.

 

[7dustfan]

You wash your hands before you take a leak.

Now that is funny!!!! Been there, done that...

 

[7dustfan]

"Your reading this at 5am because you just got home from work"

"Your reading this at 2am in the pilot lounge somwhere between your 4th and 6th leg"

That is funny sh!t, too!!!!

 

[movingviolation]

I don't think half of this would be so funny, if it wasn't so true.


SOP includes the '10% rule'

Your idea of weight and ballance is looking to see how flat the nose strut looks when you climb in

You have not done a daylight landing in the past six months.

ATC advises you of smoother air at a different altitude, and you don't care.


Your D O mysteriously changes your max. takeoff weight during the holiday season.

Every FBO makes you park out of sight of their building.

You have ever walked barefoot through the FBO because you just woke up

Movingviolation: In regards to gun shots and drive-by's, BFM is a poster child. A couple times one of our guys had to come out of there with all the lights off because the tower reported a man shooting at planes in the area. To top it off, one time one of our planes took fire and when the pilot landed, he found a bullet hole through the elevator on post-flight. Needless to say, when I come out of there, I stay low and fast (and it's not because I'm at "gross weight").

 

[tsky]

you might be a fr8dog if you flirt with the hot chick that works at the FBO and she totally hates you.

 

[illinipilot]

You might be a freight dog if you date the not hot chick that works behind the counter, since she's the only girl that you've seen in three months and you have a six hour break at the airport.

oh wait.... I mean I know a friend who does that.

crap

 

[Fly BI]

You might be a frieght dog if your multi-engine "feathered" time competes with your time in actual IMC.

 

[movingviolation]

you might be a fr8dog if you flirt with the hot chick that works at the FBO and she totally hates you.

How about if you think the girl behind the counter is hot, and if you saw her "a few years ago" when you actually had a social life you would realize that she is right out of the trailer park.

 

[Lucky13]

You know your a freight dog when... maintainence clips the red tags off the "new" parts they install in your airplane.

 

[freaky]

you have been detained by the TSA because your aircraft "looks suspicious."

 

[flydaddy0499]

You might be a freight dog if you have had multiple engine failures, electrical failures, etc., but you have NEVER declared an emergency!

....if you lost an engine 300 NM ago but you had enough gas from cross-feeding to make your destination.

 

[wingnutt]

lol...good ones so far, heres a few more

you havent had a weather brief in months

you wear the same shirt for a week...and no one complains

airlines hold and wait for you to "test the squall line"

your airplane has belonged to more than 10 companies

center mispronounces your callsign more than three times in one night

you show up to the fbo early and a G4 pilot asks you to carry his luggage

you refuse to accept vectors around weather

you call for the hotel van...and they cant understand where you are on the airport

Food simulator ????

Yea...you know...the vending machines....aka food simulator.

You think that sh!t in there is real?! No way!

Unfortunately, that too....almost married that one... ....but, I escaped....
