Santa's Checkride...

Kick the tires, light the fires, first one in the air is lead, and brief on Guard... er... wrong checklist...

 Gotta get that checkride in before tonight...

Can't do a 'regular' military one... :-)

    Since I flew on Hueys, we skipped the kicks. Kick the skids and light the fires doesn't have the same ring.

    Merry Christmas to you and family.

    I liked the 4 stripes on Santa's "flight suit".

    Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    I used to have a tee shirt I got at a litter cafe that said "Visualize Whirled Peas".

    And yep, they had great split pea soup with smoked ham!
