Default Do sim pilots log their time?

logbook.

The worse the weather the better to him. No day flights and we never needed
a hood. God bless his soul, he used to say, "God hates cowards," and then
we'd launch.

the clouds
and I'd say

"Get a load of this turbulence!"

"What turbulence?"

or

"Yeee - HAH"

or

"Rock-n-roll!"

I really miss him - would like to show him how good I'm getting at
"turbulence tolerance" - but he flew a Baron into a mountaintop a year
and a half ago.

Maybe it's true what they say about old pilots and bold pilots?
