Drunk pilots

LOL! I remember many a time when someone in the bar would yell "DEAD
BUG".

I miss those days too. :)

Hi Walt;

It's indeed a fairly little known fact outside the military aviation
community that we who flew the "smaller" though somewhat "faster" bits of
Plexiglas and aluminum learned all our REAL bad habits from you multi
guys!!

I believe the dead bug drills usually came somewhere between rolling for
drinks and the carrier landings.

Mind, I remained a strict non-drinker the whole time, so I was sober enough
to remember the whole thing.

It was kind of unfair, really. If someone came into the club wearing a hat,
all I got was another Sprite. But if I forgot...

PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLL.

This question is easily researchable and doesn't require real pilots
experiences.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely researchable. All you have to do is remember the fighter
pilot's
golden rule on drinking and flying.
"NEVER drink and fly!!! Pull off the taxiway as you're on the way out to
the
runway and drink, THEN go fly!!!"

And, when I was flying KC135's, we rigidly adhered to the rule: "No
smoking 8 hours before flying, and no drinking closer than 80 feet from
the aircraft."

That rule made us better at the job we did. I think.

My grandfather recounted stories of his B-17 crew unlatching their oxygen
masks but holding them close to their faces try to smoke cigarettes/breathe
on their way to Schweinfurt...

I always thought it was "You have to stop drinking when you SEE the
airplane."

"An hour from bottle to throttle." Waiting any less could be disasterous.

If you see *three* airplanes, do you just play it safe and head for the
middle one??
