Glad that brought a smile to your face atlast. Old habits die hard and visual approaches are still fun!

You know your a freight dog if:

+ the GPS data base expired in 2001 and you are annoyed that the KR86 has finally stopped "pointing to the station", but pleasantly surprised that you are still flexible enough to reach over the co-pilots head and tune to the null on the old set!

+ you have to set Indices or adjust anything in the Hydraulic System before engaging the Auto Pilot.

+ You enjoy flying with your arm out the window.

+ you wish you paid more attention when the older captains were talking about
Star Shots and Pressure Pattern Flying.

+ while doing the preflight you realise that uneasy feeling is because you aren't carrying a torch.
