You know you've been flying too long...

[p.b.]

when someone asks a question, instead of hold on or just a second, the response is always standby.

 

[Super 80]

When you put on your cell phone ear piece while driving and reach down to the arm rest for the boom/mask switch.

When you get out your magnetic compass and measure the driveway and contemplate painting 08 on the approach end.

When you use "roger" in everyday speech with ground pounders.

When you respond to the wife's "honey do" wishes with "wilco."

When you give someone directions on taking an interstate interchange by saying, "make a right 270..."

When you nudge the car forward in 1st so it'll rock back and make it easier to get the gear shift into reverse.

When you have a shutdown checklist for getting out of the car.

 

[Flying Illini]

You enter a fog bank in your car, and start scanning your speedometer, tach, battery gauge, and oil temp guage

Guilty!
When you say "standby" to a question
When you start to say something but then just say "disregard."

Re: You know you've been flying too long . .

. . . .when you wish that NOTAMs were issued for highway construction, road blockages and road closures.

Bobby's been battling the Denver T-REX nightmare for one to many days.

Feeling your pain friend.

Lets not forget the huge mess on North I25 to. The traffic seems worse from the new E470 interchange- Longmont/119 exit because of the lane changes (and theres always a million idiots there to causing accidents).

And the joy I'll have tomorrow night when I go pick up a friend from DIA...

Road NOTAMS

True, but the T-Rex project's "NOTAMS" are least published on its website and are on TV. The ones that get me are the minor ones that spring up without notice and !$#@!! road paving in the summer that shut down everything.

You've been flying too long when...

...you've finally gone deaf.




I SAID:
YOU'VE BEEN FLYING TOO LONG WHEN YOU CAN'T HEAR NO MORE!

 

[jetexas]

Say again? I thought you had said something about hearing?

 

[KATL8R26L]

Re: Whey you

Reading the stuff back at burgerking realy messes them up..........

Tell me about it...

Drive-thru employee: 2 Whopper Jrs. and a large Coke, that will be $3.49 and the next window.

Me: Roger, $3.49, next window for 3128.... ahhhh, cr@p!!!

You know you've been flying too long . .

. . . when you wear NOMEX flyers' gloves while driving (in cold wx)!

. . . when you're on the phone, the person on other end is unintelligible and you say "say again" to have them repeat what they just said.

 

[Eagleflip]

...when you're driving on the interstate and see a milage sign for Dothan, Alabama that says 94 miles and you figure you'll be there in just about 10 minutes, give or take a few seconds.

15 minutes later you wonder why you aren't there yet. You then realize that, oh...I guess I'm not doing .9 in this POS Chevy rental...

True story..
