It was the first of a 2 day trip, and I only brought that shirt. I really need to learn how to sew on button...
And this one time, at band camp...
No wait, it was day one of a 4 day, on the Mad Dog (of course) I caught my pant leg on a sharp edge of the center console, put a nice 3" rip just below my knee. At the next stop, I called for MX to bring some duct tape to the cockpit. I worked a 4" piece up my pant leg from the inside to patch the rip. Lasted the rest of the trip!
Never underestimate the power of Duct Tape!
