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.

You might be a fr8 dawg if....
... you get a box in the back of your plane going to the CDC in Atlanta that's labeled "fungus of unknown origin."
... a UPS commercial comes on the tv in the pilot's lounge, and when it says "what can brown do for you" everyone in the room shouts in unison "BROWN CAN GIVE ME A JOB!"
... you've ever considered getting a digital recording of the cabin altitude warning horn in a Learjet, then playing it in the pilot's lounge at 4 in the morning.
... you've ever blown an entire paycheck on a digital recorder so you can try that.
... you've ever told dispatch that you hope they enjoyed the brownies (another one for the STarcheckers)

... you don't know what an engine cover or a cowl plug is.
... you can't take off for 15 minutes because the tubes in your radios need to warm up.

You might be a freight dog if
You hold for 25 minutes to avoid having to divert, turn around from diversion when the visibility meets minimums, shoot the approach multiple times till you see the runway, all to avoid diverting.
You don't check the weather at your base (you're going anyways) but always feel the need to check the weather at any FBO that has cookies, popcorn or Jolly Ranchers.
You have a picture of yourself next to a Dodge Valiant.
(0r whatever famous ugly crew car exists with your company)

A northern Kentucky man was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without parole for killing three people last year including his wife and daughter.
Michael Richardson Sr. had previously pleaded guilty to killing his wife, Joyce Richardson; his 18-year-old daughter, Sunshine, and his daughter's boyfriend, 16-year-old Phillip Leslie.
Richardson, 46, will likely spend the rest of his life in prison, under the sentence handed down by Campbell County Circuit Judge Julie Reinhardt Ward.
