flyboyaj where the heck are you from if you're for the red sox. I just can't figure you out. Trying to keep off the last subject too.....lol!!
Ahhh, well......... I'm from Michigan..... but I haven't really been a baseball fan since the strike of, when was it? 1986? However, the... ahhh... what do you call that championship baseball game they play every year??? Anyway, that's on and I'm watching it in the background and the Boston team is winning, so I figured I'd root for them for the moment.
Figure me out yet? Here's a hint... I'm always unpredictable... when you think you've got it, I'll throw you a curveball, just to try to get you to smile... cause I like happy people and I like making people smile
And always remember that only 10% of what a pilot says is required to be true... but that doesn't mean that I don't alway tell the 100% truth.. after all, I am an honest guy 8)

So the other 90% is.........................................................................pure B.S.? :?

It could be, but doesn't have to be. In my case it's usually 90% truth - 10% stretching it a little to make it a little more fun or interesting, but lately that extra 10% really hasn't been required.
Let me know if you ever figure me out, cause I'm still working on that one too...

j/k
Pilots do tell the truth. Like when they can't figure out why the radio doesn't work in Official mode (OFF)
I do a lot of factory level repair work for major and regional airlines, and seeing some of the "problems" are hilarious! Unlike when I was in the military, we have to be completely professional in our corrective action blocks, but it does make for some interesting conversation as to what we would have written if we could get away with it
My most recent one was the window seal on the co's side was squealing above 250kias between FL190 and FL350. We even speed taped the outside of the window to try to get it to stop to no avail. Over Kentucky on the way back from Hawaii the controller commented that it sounded like there was a "hum in my transmitter", to which I replied "yea, that'd be the broken window seal right next to me". He then queried, "are you OK?", to which I responded, "Yep, I'm OK, it's been doing that for 3 days now, this jet is a piece of crap". He was laughing is butt off for the next 8 transmissions to other airplanes. We had 4 pages of write-ups when we got back to home-station.

Yah, kinda like you are a boyscout and always do right.....which we KNOW is not true since you took 3 Hooters girls home in your z.
Actually it was purely out of my inability to say "no". They were the one's that invited themselves over, I just couldn't say no. :roll:
And Yal is totally correct, it was some good entertainment
And, Rosie, it was actually 6 girls that came over, but I only fit 3 of them in the Z for the ride across town and two of the others followed in their car. And you are correct, I was never a boyscout. Cubscout one year, but never a boyscout.
Ok.... NOW we are off topic 8) This story is old news anyway. I need to go out and do something again worth writing about. Maybe this weekend with FNI will bring some good stories with it. :crazydude:
