I always wonder in general A) If they log the flight B) How do they log the flight? 10 day mission would be like 240.7, what if they land back at Kennedy, is it technically not XC time?

Any former astronauts now working for the airlines, always wondered how that interview would go too?

I think the interview would go something like this:

Airline: "Holy crap, you were an Astronaut? WTF are you doing here?"
Astronaut: "Good question, I think I'm lost. Check you guys later!"

I would pay anything to see the look on an interviewer's face when he looks at the last line in somebody's logbook and it is a space shuttle landing. I wonder if that would count as multi-engine turbine time?

Only the first 0.2 or so, rest glider :laff:
 
I didn't hear him call props full forward, or mixtures full rich... I sure hope he got yelled at during debrief.

I'd imagine that the majority of them do it to keep them occupied so they don't end up getting fat sitting around the house all day long.
 
Anyone training for their Commercial ASEL certificate that complains about how hard power-off 180 approaches are should be shown this video!

He said Field in Sight. I also appreciated him saying Looking good taco! Enjoyed the loud nose touchdown! Going to miss it once it is retired. Nice video!
 
Do you guys REALLY think the whole "cancel at the gate" and "running oversquare" jokes are still funny?? The 10th time they may have made someone chuckle, the 100th time its just ing old....

These JC memes are like the remainder of the irreverent jokes in aviation. Everyone's heard them, and nobody is coming up with new ones, but Federal regulations require you to chuckle at them, even if they aren't funny.
