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

I miss those days too. :)


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...

I'll drink to that!

If an aircraft is taxiing out from the ramp and controllers notice

PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLL.

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

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

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!!

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...

At the NCO's club in Norfolk I bailed out my brother-in-law during his
bachelor party when he came in wearing his hat and they expected him to buy
a round for all.

"It ain't a hat, Chief. It's a cover." That's what my D.I. always said,
so it must be true.

Do you belong to the Montana Pilots Association? We go to a number of
fly-ins every summer, perhaps we could hook up at one.


Yes, I am an MPA member. If you are one you should make plans for the
annual work party at Schafer. Third weekend in July, about the 20th
this year. I'll be at Three Forks as well. There's quite a few. I'll
start looking for Warriors.

I'm at the Three Forks MAA fly-in every year. Flew the Warrior there
this past summer (a 15 minute flight from BZN), and flew into Wilsall
for the annual breakfast as well. Fun time. Very fun. Since the
Warrior was born in 1974 it almost qualifies as an antique aircraft.
:)

Haven't made it to Schafer yet but it's on my list. This past summer
was rather busy for us, but next summer I'll have more time.

I'm an MPA member too.

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

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

I also heard -- An hour from toke to yoke.

On the drive into work this morning, I heard a song about drinking and
flying. After the drinking 'they were both on their way, each knowing they'd
meet on some other day'.
