Yeah, I'm still on the payroll. With my schedule, TW, acro and spin training is about all I can do.

LOL, you're not just going to slip that one in there without a story!
I'm just trying to imagine what happened...

Believe me… sometimes it's almost as scary for your IP!
("Please don't hit me, please don't hit me, please don't hit me…. Can I call this kid complete if we kick him to route as soon as he passes us the lead and we just leave him there the rest of the sortie?" )

Has anyone done an outside loop in an open cockpit yet??

Low level in the Florida Keys with my feet dangling out the back of the Herk.

Easiest way to clean the floorboards and get rid of old charts at the same time.

Exploring the world one toilet at a time.
Not in an open cockpit, but in a Pitts, Extra, and MX2. You'd be surprised how much dirt and dust is on the floor of an airplane.

Plus popping up over a thick overcast layer at night with the cockpit lights off. One of the few things that truly left me awestruck. Same with that was seeing a gigantic meteor streak across the sky for a good 5 seconds or so. It was actually big enough to be global news.

I once got approval for a 250kt low pass in a t-28 with and did a 4g breakout
is that cool enough?
I've had tons of fun flights, but cool is such a relative term.
These things weren't anything incredibly thrilling, but emotionally it was an amazing experience. Granted, I think she is already adorable, but after I handed over the controls to the soon-to-be Mrs. AjaxBU she did the most adorable thing ever. She had flown with me before, but never in the front, and when she moved the control (italics to show emphasis for the dirty-minded) stick left and the plane started to roll she was so excited, her expression made my day--it was a smile I will never forget.

- When I took my father flying for the first time
- When I flew my brother and sister-in-law IFR to ADS, I bought them each logbooks and we logged it
- When I took my fiancee flying, I bought her a logbook and we logged it

- First Landing at Delta (737-800) - LCA gets on PA just above 10,000 and announces "Ladies and Gentlemen, just want you to know this is Bill's first landing ever in a Delta Aircraft." Looks at me with a cheesy grin "No Pressure."
