Your plane is a conglomeration of 3 separate aircraft parts that all don't quite fit together just right.

Your mechanic tells you he'd never take her to the air and you don't care because you're thinking of all the hours you can build

Your idea of deicing involves a broom and a spray bottle

The 'I'm an airline pilot' line is working well at the bar...until it comes time to ask about which airline you fly for.

1. Dog really is in fact, your co-pilot

2. You can clearly identify anatomy in squiggly porn because the FBO does not pay for that channel

3. MU-2B sticker on your bag elicits the "man it's good to see ya" response. Always.

4. You make extra money by selling acquisition and merger info to the Wall Street Journal because reading cancelled checks has become entertainment.

You snicker at fellow freight dawg aviators who wear the company dress blazer proudly (complete with hat) at 0200L to fly a GFK out & back. But hey--the rampers are (no doubt) impressed.

"What--you buy this hat, d'ya get a free bowl of soup? Oh, but it looks good on you!"

If you find yourself happy in the thought that boxes can't talk, write letters, get drunk, show you pictures of their cat farm, or wear pants that look like ten pounds of stuff in a five pound bag.
