if it was XJ it was actually upside down..I had the pleasant experience of meeting one of the "nine" wonder FO's and he sure tried his best to put me in my place as a lowly puddle jumping -200 captain! it was quite entertaining!

Sorry Boomer, he's not a member of of the NSDAP (nazi) just a combat pilot and probably loved pork chops. May I nominate myself as TOOL of the Day? Cheers H
Angrypilotwife wasn't exaggerating, you really do lay on the couch watching The Military Channel all day long.

You forgot to mention the First Place Award from the San Antonio World Rodeo Competition- as evidenced by his belt buckle.

Do former F/As really fall for that kind of talk? Good luck in any case.

Maybe, but it's efficient and nobody stares at my flair in the checkout line. I can do the whole quick-change in less than a minute. Putting the crap back on in the car takes a little longer and carries a bit more risk.

It was at XJ I was just a Saab CA so nowhere near their superb skills. I also liked the FO that did a 4 day trip in crocs and would preflight the plane wearing a coors light sweatshirt!

Default Tool of the day

First off I am new to this forum and in relativity to most if not all of u guys new to flying, I have been really enjoying this thread the past few days and today I did something that I feel like a bit of a tool about.
I was doing pattern-work at the local international apt, on the way back I asked my flight instructor if I could flyover my house...I couldn't help myself...feel like a bit of a tool, if not a complete noob, or both...was really fun though

I fly over my house all the time. How else would I check for strange cars parked in the driveway when I'm on a trip??

Flying over your house is awesome. Not tool-ish. It's the kind of thing that makes flying fun.

Presumably this isn't the uniform your wearing to get the cashier excited.

If so, that raises many questions.

Just sayin'...
Hahaha, no, it's not that. But assuming he wore this to a supermarket in Leipzig, I'm sure he'd be getting laid.
