Oh…and can we all agree that my son’s entry to the American Airlines “What Does Safety Mean To You” contest is a winner…since he clearly won’t be winning the Scripps Spelling Bee competition?

Can we also agree that the History Channel’s “Alone” is the best show on TV at the moment? :popcorn:

Been binge watching Season 2 this past week. Love it. Sign me up. I want to see if I would tap out in the first 48 hours for lack of Krispy Kreme donuts.

What sort of status report is this on? Stuck somewhere with aircraft?

Status report. Instrument check - complete.

Starting engines malfunctions. Abort. Engine failure after take-off. Hold. ILS to a full stop engine out… ILS to go around / EO. TACAN to circle to touch n go to VFR pattern to go around to VFR pattern to a full stop. Fun times.

Status Report:

Permit drawings due to the city office in 6 days.

Still waiting on another consultant to provide mechanical and electrical load information for most of the support equipment in the building.

Sent project manager a two page email with other required information three weeks ago. He asked me yesterday to re-send it to the project owners.

Three more hours, then too close for beer, so switching to Bourbon.

…am I doing this right?

That all sounds very similar to my checkrides…

It doesn’t matter what airplane you are flying, it seems that the standard 293/297 check is the same for all of us. I have flown those profiles (in the sim) at JFK in the King Air, Citation II, Challenger and the Global. Funny thing is I have never flown into JFK for real. Nice use of color for the briefing there. Extra points to your instructor for that :wink: .

Yeah. I’ve flown that checkride profile (more or less) the exact same way for 18 years and some 36 or so checkrides. I think I could draw the VOR 4L circle to 31R approach plate by hand and from memory at this point.

It’s not too late to switch again…

BOTA BOX is a camping staple food. I approve.

Me - I’m doing margaritas tonight.

…and trying to figure out which of these buttons to push…(or not)…

When in doubt, always press one of the red ones :wink: .

A nice Robert Mondavi Chardonnay for me this evening, although I am contemplating breaking out the single malt. Hmmmmmm. Bowmore or The Balvenie. Decisions, Decisions. :sunglasses:

Over here: Watermelon milkshake from Cook Out (because July), with rum added.

Meanwhile, I’ve just returned from another practice sortie, trying to “get gooder” when it comes to bombing in the Mirage:

I’m not so sure about the Watermelon Milkshake Rum concoction, but the Mirage certainly looks sweet. :sunglasses:
