You know you're a "Flyboy" if......

1.You lovingly refere to your children as "Maverick" & "Goose"

2.On the drive to the gastation, you keep repeating the phrase "Bingo Fuel, Bingo Fuel"

3.You have more line, hanging from your ceiling, than on your fishing reel

4.You spend 3 days detailing the interior, only to install the canopy in the "closed" position (hey wait, we do that with the hatches)

5. A good day is spent 12 hours modeling and 12 hours playing Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator

6. You desperately try to tune your cars radio to the "AWACS" channel

7. Before pulling into the driveway, you call your wife and ask for permission to land

8. You can recite every line from the movie "Midway"

Remember, we only kid around with those we call friends

".. you have the top gun soundtrack in the cassette deck of your car. Which is bolted shut"
STRICTLY argumentative....Oh WAITAMINUTE?!?! WHO TOLD YOU????

more to come..

Pilots and jet fighters make movies.....
Armor and troops make history !!!!!!!

That thing about painting callsigns on the door ain't far from the truth. A pal of mine has 2½ red stars on his driver side door. At least he earned them, though...

And I wouldn't want no stinkin' A-1. Gimmee JP-8...


Fade to Black...

When you persistently try to go behind a moving fuel truck in your car to execute "aerial refueling".

When you install a HUD on your car's dashboard, paint your callsign on your car's doors and keep an extra parachute underneath the driver's seat for emergency purposes.

I was wondering when someone was gonna start this in here. LOL
I need to think of how to "clean up" a few I know.

if and when the gas station attendant asks you...

"Would that be gasoline or diesel, sir?

And your proud and quick reply is...

"Jet A-1,"

Q. How do you know your date with the fighter pilot is half over?
A. He says "but enough about me - wanna hear about my plane?"

Q: How do you know if there's a fighter pilot at your party?
A: He'll tell you.

Q: What's the difference between God and fighter pilots?
A: God doesn't think he's a fighter pilot.

Q: What's the difference between a fighter pilot and a jet engine?
A: A jet engine stops whining when the plane shuts down.


Fade to Black...

The Darkside always beat you to the supper table because you are still trying to find a place to land that wingy thingy!

you always have your head in the clouds and miss most of the exciting things happening on the ground!

You always check the wind vane and the anemometer in your front lawn before boarding your car.

You know you're a flyboy when your nose is always up in the air.

You know you're a flyboy when the joystick is the centre of your world.

You believe that completing a kit in one weekend is a miracle.
