And then there are the good times:
- The face on your student after their first solo.
- Cruising home, high altitude, 40kt tail wind, fantastic view, getting paid.
- The 'Nod of Recognition / Sympathy' from a regional pilot when you shut down next to them. He's probably just thinking "That thing's still waiting for the respray they talked about 10 years ago"
- VFR on top and thinking to yourself that this is exactly what it looks like at Flight Levels.
- Your passengers turn up; they are all good looking backpackers.
- Flying low level or putting in a few steep turns just because you can...
- Having less stripes than a coach driver and being mistaken for a security guard / Taxi driver...
