A long time ago when I was much younger, I was looking at a Smith Mini-plane on a hangar floor, selling for a song. A local happened through; he flew for a major, and we chatted about the airplane. "Buy it." He said. "Put the pictures in your log. Nobody will know what it is, everybody will ask. It's an ice breaker." The logs today do have some pictures, some of aircraft nobody knows or cares about, old medicals, business cards, snapshots in time of this or that. The logs are dog eared, worn out. I've had several re-spined because they were falling apart. The pages are stained, one ten years to fill one out, or more, and the books look like it. Today nobody looks at them, and the last interviews I've been through, nobody wanted to see them, or any log at all.

I love logbooks.... I was a diving instructor before, and made my own pages in this time, when digital was not really available. Its a nice memory to re-read and remember all the dives. There are no so strickt rules,than in flying. A stamp is enough to verify.

I want to make similar in flying, as in the digital logbook also , just some notes, in the remark field, how that flight was. I have some memorable fun flights with my instructor and would be nice to remember in the future, which flight was that. Like re- read a diary

I use MCCPilotLog. Its a bit clunky until you get used to it, but once you get your settings customized to the way you like it then its really simple and easy to use. Its also free (although does have a one time paid option for some functions)

Google Drive / sheets (excel). With if statements to auto calculate the obvious points if night and cross country then also log it in the night cross country column. My written logbook is the official record but excel makes it easy to make calculations. And it’s free. I grabbed a logbook template online many years ago. There were lots out there.
