You know, after my checkride tonight, I was thinking of this thread...I had an awesome instructor, with a flight department guy as my "sim partner". We were seeing how many different accents we could use to check in with/use for ATC, etc. The instructor also brought his laptop in and we were listening to tunes the entire time. We come out of the sim, and there's a sim tech outside, looking at us funny. He asks us if we were singing in there, and we said we had tunes, etc. He said he thought we had some type of Top Gun song going on, and we just started laughing. Nothing like all three of us singing "You've lost that lovin' feeling" during a checkride, while shooting the ILS to mins!!! Too bad he didn't hear the Johnny Cash or some better songs.
And, yes, we both passed with flying colors, did what we needed to do, and had a good time. Best checkride ever!!!!
