Title: Ya know you are playing the game too much when....
Post by: Fud on April 05, 2011, 09:21:56 PM: I was walking with my 6 year old son and my wife was about 10 ft ahead when Fud jr let go of my hand to run up to mom...I yelled to her "CHECK 6!"
I also have been answering emails from coworkers with a "rgr".

Anything other stories of mixing game time with real time?
:x

Post by: mthrockmor on April 05, 2011, 09:31:38 PM: That's pretty funny. I have referred to a person at work as 'humping my ankle.' Everyone was pretty surprised and I passed it off as an old military term.

Boo

Post by: Plawranc on April 06, 2011, 07:25:40 AM: I say rgr, check 6 in day to day conversation, I line up other cars and gun them down with my voice box "tacacacacacacacacacacacacaca", When on air experience flights with the AFJROTC (AAFC in Australia) I scan the sky and call out aircraft height, estimated speed and affiliation to the instructor.

Yeeeah.

Post by: SKColt on April 06, 2011, 09:57:17 AM: When I took my first flying lessons I had a tendency to reach for the yoke while taxiing to the runway. I was properly using my rudders, but would start to go for the yoke. My FI asked what the F was going on. I told him about AH and that I had always used a twisty stick instead of rudder pedals. He laughed...and then required me to sit on my hands while taxiing!! :airplane:

Post by: Tupac on April 06, 2011, 12:45:38 PM: San Antonio approach has planes fly right over Boerne Stage, so when I'm flying back and I'm a good distance out, I'll start pulling lead on the big jets

Post by: Curlew on April 06, 2011, 01:02:21 PM: I was flying out of San Jose, and i looked out my window down into the valley. What I saw was a large farming valley and a airfeild that looks EXACTLY like a medium field. Guess what was 300 yards down the road, a small town about 5 blocks by 5 blocks. The first thing i thought was DIVE IN!!!! :airplane:

Post by: Fud on April 06, 2011, 04:27:20 PM: After flying for several hours I had to go to the store. As I was driving, I found myself "trying" to barrel roll as to not overshoot the car ahead of me and squeeze in on it's 6 lol. The way people drive makes me want to mount some 50 cals or tater tossers on the front end of my truck lol

I'd notice that in the decent from letting jumpers out...I'd see some other airplane below me and automatically start working to his rear quarter.

Once did a climbing lead turn on an A-10 with a 206...called a guns kill to approach. After a moment he replied "the A10 says the F15s took you out with an AMRAM 5 minutes ago"!! <G>

I, however, have an open cockpit :D

I think it makes you look even stranger, since folks can actually see you doing it :rofl
