Yanno, there's just something visceral about turning the pages of a real
logbook, with actual ink on paper entries carefully penned over the
course of many flying years.

It's like the difference between a genuine celebrity signature penned
in their own warm hand, and a the name of the celebrity printed on a
page by a cold, mechanical printing press.

Cryptic notations from flight instructors past, sweat stained pages
from soaring in the desert heat, an FBO receipt laid-in with "Ok to
solo" scrawled across it. these subtle obscurities and more chronicle
the years with cryptic nostalgia....

The drudge of totaling columns and arithmetic errors be damned. Give
me a tangible tome in which to tally my time spent navigating the
third dimension. :-)
