Or you're waiting for 121 knots in the Warrior for rotation speed, having already called the 80 knot cross check, on the short runway.

I was on a 2 week long trip that involved thunderstorms every day, so I had plenty of time with the 60:1 rule and playing with the radar tilt and gain.

I was home for about a day and saw some thunderstorms off in the distance and I instinctively reached down for the radar tilt knob. The only knob in my truck was the one looking for the radar controls

There is nothing better than getting paid NOT to fly.

When your out with friends, have to use the rest room, and you tell them you have to hit the Lav before we go.
