How about when your 3 year old grand daughter keeps repeating "Pull up, pull up, pull up" ?

 

This wouldn't be so bad except she lives in a different state and repeats this to my wife over Facetime... (Apparently, this is heard in the background?)

 

Oops..

When you ask your doctor for "Go Pills" to keep you alert so you can fly missions non stop 24-7 and he sends you to a shrink.:pilotfly:

When you use a cash point machine and realise the hard/soft interface

is exactly the same as an A10-C MFD even down to the lines going from

the button to the option.

Waitrose carpark. :)

 

But can you bring up a moving map display on that money machine?

If yes, then DEFINITELY time to take a break!

:cry:

When you use a vending machine and don't put the right amount of change in, and it tells you the amount is incorrect, and the first thing you think is "oh, CICU INPUT ERROR"

"Would you say we'd be venturing into a "Zone of Danger?"

You fall asleep while flying and wake up to, "PULL UP! PULL UP!"

 

I had been flying with the sound on for a while. Wifey went to bed and I flew quietly on. Yup, I fell asleep at the stick. Wifey came into the room yelling at me, "Pull up! Pull up! Pull up! My gosh, I'm trying to sleep!"

 

Weeks later, it was time to get up for work and Wifey, already up, taps my foot, "Pull up, pull up, pull up. You're late!"

The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

When you go to have some drinks with a friend that also flies the Hog and both start discussing attack profiles on a SAM infested area (of course hand movements are mandatory to explain the maneuvers)... The time passes and you realize that half of the pub is staring at you with a suspicious look.

ok, here is one.. when you're in the car at night and a guy cuts your lane, you swear at him but then use the headlight and mumble "brrrrrrrrrrr", followed by right hand then left hand turn signals for flares...

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
