What a waste -- but of course that describes our whole military racket.

What a waste...

I just watch 'em because I like sad music. That, and I used to be a pilot.
I've got a bad feeling that the daily NottaVax death count briefing is gonna be a rough one tonight. Cap'n Brandon's salt stain index on my right shoulder registered a zero this morning. I've got a feeling that my black T-shirt is going to look like I dipped it in the Dead Sea and let it dry in the sun tomorrow morning.
I should know between 0030 and 0130. What a CF.

What a classic CF.

What a classic CF.

That's why I never liked flying in controlled airspace. Besides all the commo hassle, I was typically flying in Cessna 150s or Piper Tomahawks which have a quarter to a third of the commercial and military traffic out of FWA. My home base was Auburn (07C) or Smith field on the north side of Ft. Wayne. Don't remember their designation.
I can't imagine what a CF it is now with half the country (and ATC) suffering from NottaVax dementia. I don't even like driving anymore.

I dug out my logbook...

Smith field is SMD. Some N numbers - 757RN (Raunchy Nasty), 89373, both C152s, 80519 C172, the destination is Skenk, I think that was a grass strip, 9352T looks like PA-38 112, that must be the Piper Traumahawk (I spelled that right). That plane tried to kill me and a panicky instructor. I was doing a check ride to let them know I was OK to fly their precious airplane and the engine started acting up. The only way the engine would run halfway right was with the carb heat on. Mr. know-it-all wouldn't let me run with it on, ended up landing back at SMD dead-stick.
Looks like I took my check ride on 26Aug1990 in N89373 out of Auburn (07C). 1.2 engine hours, 0.3 hrs under the hood. 4 takeoffs, 4 landings. FAA examiner's number was GL-18-4.
