You’ve ever said, “Oh yes sir, it’s supposed to look like that”

You know what 115/145 tastes like.

You’ve ever used a black grease pencil to fix an over-worn tire.

You have a better bench-stock in the pockets of your dungarees than the supply system.

You’ve ever used a piece of safety wire as a toothpick.

You’ve ever been told to go get “some prop wash and a yard of flight line.”

You’ve ever worked 14 hours on an aircraft that isn’t flying the next day.

You can sleep anywhere, anytime, but as soon as the engines shut down you are wide-awake.

You’ve ever stood on wheel chocks to keep your feet dry.

Used dikes to trim fingernails.

Wiped off oil and hydraulic leaks immediately prior to the crew showing up.

Wondered where they keep finding the idiots that make up the flight schedule.

You’ve ever had to de-fuel an aircraft an hour after refueling it.

You’ve used a wheel chock as a hammer.

You know more about your coworkers than your own family.

You ever wished the pilot would say “Great Airplane!”

You’ve ever wondered why it takes a college degree to break an airplane but only a high school diploma to fix one.
