Argh! STARBOARD. (At least he enters and exits on the right.)

(iv) Marks may be displayed on an exhibition, antique, or other aircraft in
accordance with 45.22.

Is "antique" a matter of years, and if so how many?

Thirty. See 45.22.b.

This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to
play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home
a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind".

A simple line my instuctor told me made this easy to remember,

"Port wine is RED and you always pour from the LEFT"

Many years ago at summer camp while learning to sail, I learned "PORT
and LEFT have four letters."

Port Out Starboard Home. This referred to the best cabins on the ships to
India from England. The POSH cabins were the cooler ones and attracted a
premium fare.

This lead to the introduction of the word POSH for anything uppercrustish or
better than the norm.

That reminds me of what my flight instructor said on the subject of
whether the FAA actually requires a certificated pilot or mechanic at
the controls when you are propping a plane: "Dan, there are a whole
lot of reasons why you would not want this to become an issue."

Many years ago at OSH, as I remember the report, some idiot propped a
plane with no one in it. It got away from him and cut both legs off
a girl sleeping in a tent nearby.

Painful even to think of something so horrible, but I've never been
able to forget it.

Again, you DO clearly need current IFR charts --

Although I can't imagine setting off on an IFR flight without a
current IFR chart, it is not requried to have ANY chart on an IFR
flight! If you get to your destination without a problem fine.

If you cause a problem, though, you'll have some explaining to do.

Maybe from a literal reading context under part 91. But the
individual ops specs of FAR135 or FAR121 will specifiy what pubs
crewmembers must carry. But still Vince, I just can't buy this even
under part 91. The careless and reckless part of the regs will always
be applicable. And the FAA may require an IFR proficiency check on
your ass. If you show up without charts the check is over before it
even starts.

I once was jumpseating on an MD-11 from HKG to OAK. The Captain felt
that way and just decided that he'd use the F/O's Jepps that trip so
he left his at home(what an asshole.) Anyway the co-pilot pulls out
his STAR that ATC just cleared him on and sets it on the center
pedastal in front of the thrust levers so that both pilots could see
the arrival. We didn't see it happen, but I've witnessed this befo
It just disappeared! Suction from avionics fans probably slurpped it
down the crack! I made the mistake of telling the captain about this
possibility as he was blaming the F/O for losing it. The Capt then
asks me to tear up the floor hatch behind him and go down in the "hell
hole" and look for it. That was the end of my white shirt! About
like an MIR space station EVA. Took a couple of minutes hanging
upside down just to look for the damned avionics bay light switch down
there. Then it was a real snake act to get my fat body through the
tiny hole and traverse over up under the center cockpit. Never did
find it.

Moral of the story: carry your ****ing charts, dammit!

I wonder how many pilots know where the port side or the starboard side is?

Are we flying airplanes or boats?

That's pretty funny. I wonder how many DEA guys know that the pilot's
side in a J-3 is the port side?

Easy way to remember. Take the three pairs of words:
left, right
port, starboard
red, green

The shorter words go together, and the longer words go together. You could
probably add:
pilot, passenger (or pilot, instructor)
