1) when you are the treasurer of the classic car club

2) when you have an annual presentation made in your honour at the warbirds society

3) when you are paying maintenance to 3 ex wives and still can afford 1) and 2) above

4) when you make more money from your investment properties than your salary

5) when your inbox is full of pilot's cvs

6) when you don't bother keeping any of those pilot's cvs because they don't have >1000 hours jet

7) When you get hauled into the boss's office for a bollocking, it's from the CEO, and not some miserable grumpy old GA b*stard

8) When security try to confiscate your swiss army knife off you at the x-ray point, and you say "don't you know who I am?" ... and they let you past

When you CAN'T put the last 10L of fuel in the drum into your car because it's less than 20 years old and can't handle the lead! That would be making it!

You can walk under the wing of your 'low wing' aircraft without ducking.

you can drive under the wing of your low wing aircraft, without the requirement to apply for a new job afterwards.

You've made it when you can press a button and a pretty girl brings you a cup of coffee
Claret I see you don't fly l/h QF.....just kidding ladies.

Seriously though, you know you've made it when you are sh!t canned by other pilots because you might be a threat to them.

.... when you begin to receive:

"Another nice landing, Captain."
"How would you like your coffee, Captain?"
"I think the ugly one likes me, Captain."
