Meaningless Milestone

[ZapBrannigan]

Did you ever have one of those milestones that really doesn't mean anything to anyone but you? I reached one today.

Upon landing in Knoxville this morning I surpassed 10,000 hours TT. Coincidentally I reached this milestone just 4.8 miles south of Skyranch Airpark (TN98) where I soloed 22 years ago last October. (goofy photo attached)

Congratulations! Did you do a loop-de-loop like I did with a mad dog when I hit 10K?

Sweatervest? See me after class!

It's from the "Math Teacher Collection" from Haggar!

 

[ZapBrannigan]

yes. I'm taking fashion advise from other pilots... the people who traditionally wear jeans and white sneakers underneath London Fog overcoats while on overnights....

What's wrong with wearing jeans, I get in trouble when I don't have pants on...

YOu are talking to the wrong pilots... You should come talk to some young married regional pilots. Our wives tell us what to wear so we look HAWT!

Congrats Zap!

How did you get the sun to come out for you? I got soaked in KTYS today!

Easy Steve. Took off, flew 145 degrees for 270 miles and landed in Hilton Head.

Zap - you've spent just over 416 DAYS in an airplane! That's over a year! Congrats!

Nice, and congrats. I think that book "outliers" would specifically disagree that 10k hours is a "meaningless milestone".

 

[rd757]

Huge congrats Zap! Hardly "meaningless"!!

 

[ZapBrannigan]

Congrats! And cool sign! haha

Hey! My wife made that sign for me.
