you can take the freightdawg out of the
freighter, but if you can get 'im to shine 'is
boots, ya got something!!!

the after takeoff check is gearup flaps up
light up...

you crack your first beer before the morning
rush hour starts, to wash down the leftovers
from someone that got supper last night...

Charlotte approach says when you check on
"You're number one...er...the only one for the
airport, cleared to land 36 right, taxi to the ramp
with me"...

The FNG is worried about the wx and you tell him
it's not bad, the scale only hit the overhead once...

My Zippo's felt is stained bluegreen!!!

You don't cuss the guy that left the spitcup behind,
cause it might have been you...

Your idea of avoiding weather is to descend to 2500msl
so you can see the lightning coming out of the bases...

you worry if there ISN'T a puddle under the engines...

500 and two is good VFR...(Bethel AK)...

You know that freezing fog can form at -29F in
30 kt wind...you've seen it!

Nobody but the FAA ever wants to look at your plane...

You help with the 100hr just so someone will lube
the gear fittings (YOU)...

You don't envy the regional airline types, 'cause you see
them taxi out at the buttcrack of dawn when noone should
be awake...

Gad but sometimes I miss it!!! Keep the dirty...er...dirtiest
side down and get some sleep!!!
 
Might be a freight dog...

....if when the weather is bad the fighter jocks, and airline drivers wait to see if you're going to go.


...you are forced to park behind the main hangar at the FBO because your airplane is somewhat of an eyesore.
 
If there is a ground hold in CLT and your company want you to go to Concord then divert to CLT.

One ATC guy controls everything: clearance, ground, tower, and approach.

You get a clearance to land 30 miles out

Your idea of de-icing is having a broom handy.

You use the strike finder as a TCAS to pick up the strobes from other aircraft.

If you have to ditch and you don't like what you see, turn the landing lights off.

You spend part of your waking day eating at the all-you-can-eat buffet for $3.99.

The keys to your home is the same to your airplane.

If being a freight dawg is wrong I don't want to be right.
:cool:
 
You might be a redneck freightdawg if.....

you carry a 5 gal. bucket and a trash bag for a lavatory

your co-workers b*tch about finding your spitter

you have a static cling number 3 or 8 on your windows

if you laugh your a** off everytime you hear the callsign "show me"

if ATC is getting pissy cause your readbacks are too drawn out

if you know the max weight that Ozark Trail hammock from Wal-Mart will hold as you string it up in your cargo zones

and lastly, if you constantly look down into that pitch black void and wonder what Macgyver would do if he had to set a plane down out there.
 
You read your charts by all the warning lights on the panel.

You have more tropical storm and hurricane penetrations than the Air Force.

You turn off the radar because it looks like someone spilled red paint on it.

You think TCAS, and GPWS are medical terms.

You have to swing the gear a few times to make the unsafe light go out.

You pull circuit breakers to turn the warning lights off... After you're done reading your charts...

You conduct an "overspeed check" on every departure.
(Above 10,000 of course....)

Controllers know you by name, but have never seen your face.

You don't remember what your wife looks like.

Owls are your alarm clock instead of roosters.

People think you actually make good money because, "You're a pilot".

You "check the gas, and fill the oil" at every stop.

You're on the EPA's most wanted list. (a couple for you radial guys out there).
 
You pay your rent weeks in advance (Who knows when you will be home next)

You can't get the cargo plane smell out of your work cloths.

Hotel staff knows you by first name.

Amazed at how long your houseplants can live with water.

Have trouble remembering your home phone number.

You carry your own, "Do not disturb" sign.

Center says, "For the last time....can your quite those chickens down....we can't hear you"

Even the baby chicks know about your pay scale. For some reason they keep chanting, "Cheap, cheap, cheap"

Wankel
 
You've spent the night inside a cargo container sitting on the ramp at BRO because the courier overslept....

You've slept on a crate of Hellfire missiles you just brought halfway across the country........

You consider an aircraft younger than yourself to be "brand new".....

You're giving the controller the handoffs......

You have a kersosene heater inside the airplane......

You consider wake turbulence to be nothing more than a ride at an amusement park......
