Our friends in the aircraft forum are having a laugh at our expense. So…to even the humor up…
You know you’re a flyboy if you care more about the nose art than a Playboy.
You know you’re a flyboy if you wear a beanie when you’re building your plane.
Have some fun with this one.
You believe that completing a kit in one weekend is a miracle.
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 always check the wind vane and the anemometer in your front lawn before boarding your car.
you always have your head in the clouds and miss most of the exciting things happening on the ground![:D]
The Darkside always beat you to the supper table because you are still trying to find a place to land that wingy thingy![(-D]

Fade to Black…
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,”
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.
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.
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…
