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.

Never let a pilot have a nav bag.

Always check the copilot has the rations.

Never let the copilot book the accomodation.

A fool and his bag are soon parted.

If they say "The tranpsort is on its way", it isnt'!

The 1000 clearance won't.

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 let an Officer near the wine list on a crew meal!

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.

But most important . . .

Never eat anything you can't spell.

Always carry a personal bogroll in your bergen.

3 More....

- Don't bulls**t a bulls**ter!

- Don't fight battles you cant win......

- Dont judge a man until you've walked in his shoes!

'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...............

..Don't p*ss the Loadmaster/Galley slave/whoever off until you've eaten..

Never get seperated from your luggage.


Never underpack for a det...

Cos any fool can be uncomfortable.

Never dare, or double dare, an idiot.

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.

(Don't ask me how I got to find out about the last two!)

NEVER ever under any circumstances(no natter how good a deal you seem to be getting) volunteer for anything!!!!!!!

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."

Always make the last flight on a squadron the one you've just done !

Train hard, fight easy

never feed sprouts to your dog!
