Bet the beer tasted good after that day. Piston or turbine? How many hours? We're legally limited to 8 hours flying a day anyway which comes in around 16 or 17 loads. We take 7 per load. Usually just run out of daylight.

You know you've earned your money when you log 30 hours in a week. Not record breaking but busy enough for me.

The boss handed me a Heineken, I twisted the top off and took a slug...then realized it wasn't a twist off top. <G>

Piston 206, it helps that mid summer we have about 18 hours of daylight.  No limitation on flight time since we operate Part 91.

"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."

Fate whispers to the warrior "You cannot withstand the storm" and the warrior whispers back "I AM THE STORM"

The landing sequence of the classic 12 Oclock High has an "interesting" low landing approach that I never noticed until not long ago, and of course the belly landing...
