If you compete with other pilots to see who flies older equipment.
I think I once flew a Bonanza with parts used from Buddy Holly's plane. J/K
I used to fly Lance Serial #2, which is the oldest one still flying because #1 crashed...

You might be a fr8 dawg if.........
... you turn off the flight director during a single engine ILS in the sim, and the instructor flips out because you're handling 2 emergencies at the same time.
... you can't figure out how to turn on the FMS, and neither can the captain, so you just VOR/DME it.
... the tower asks you to make a short approach and your wheels are on the ground before he can unkey his mike.
... you've ever been told you have a 40 knot overtake on the 737 in front of you, and you're in a Caravan.
... you can outrun a learjet on an ILS, and you're in a Caravan.
... your favorite after-work hangout is a place called the Stop 40. (that one's dedicated to you Starcheckers!)
... you fiddle with the knobs on a GNS-530 trying to figure out how to get Monday Night Football on that thing.
... your airplane has a CB radio in it.
... your courier can't get through the security fence because the gate is broken, so you just toss the boxes over it.
... you've been hit in the head by a flying box full of pee and e-coli.
... your preflight involves the use of a geiger counter.
... you ask for a deice and the line guy hands you a broom.
... you can drop off your cargo without even stopping the plane.
... you think that big puffy leather chair in the Signature pilot lounge is bigger than your bedroom, and it probably is.
... you've ever tried to figure out how to get that big puffy leather chair into the back of your Baron.
... you start the engines on your jet, and the airport fire department shows up because of the smoke.
... you take 2 steps away from your plane after you've parked it and a TSA guy comes out of nowhere and tackles you because you look shady.
... you check in with center and you distinctly hear Jay Leno in the background when you get the reply.
... you've ever done a tactical break approach at PHL in a Lear.
... you've ever done the Dalton 19 at TEB and it went by so fast you don't even remember taking off.
... you consider an FBO with a shower to be luxury accomodations.
... you hang out in dispatch to watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force on the wall-mounted plasma at 2 in the morning.
... you consider Otis Spunkmeyer to be a gourmet chef.
... the airport vending machine runs empty because you got all the food out of it.
... you can spot a Fed from a mile away, and usually run away screaming.
... the Feds can spot you from a mile away, and usually run away screaming.
... the preflight briefing consists of the captain looking over at you and saying "hang on," then he puts out his cigarette and shoves up the power.
