Top tips......
When I first started flying ME aircraft, the old and sage ones used to pass on their various pearls of wisdom. Here are 3 - please add any others you've come across...
1. Drift - Port Plus, Starboard Subtract.
2. Always carry a can opener in your navbag.
3. NEVER let a navigator loose with a hire car.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Three things you don't do:
Never pass up the chance to eat
Never pass up the chance to refuel (airborne or on the ground)
Never pass the chance to use a flushing loo (particularly apposite given our current expeditionary nature)

Never eat anything bigger than your head
and
Always kill something everyday, no matter how small it is just to maintain currency......

Never refuse the services of the Bog Wagon.
Never wear sunglasse when reading the F700.
Never use the local water for anything but washing hands.

'Could be the last' never has a truer word been said,
You should indeed never judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes,
after that you can do what the hell you like because you're a mile away and you've got his shoes...............

Man who plans early, plans twice!
Man who fart against thunder get lightning strike on arse!
Man who rocks boat will probably get wave in face.

And another three.
"Don't worry today about what happened yesterday."
"Always get the first punch in."
And the one that I adhered to for over 22 years of service. "Its easier to seek forgiveness than gain permission."
