you might be a redneck pilot if...


Recommended Posts

I didn't find this posted (and it's not new) but there are quite a few good ones on the list.

 

The flea market is one of my favorites, I can remember as a student picking stupid checkpoints and when asked by my CFI to point them out from the air I couldn't find them...

 

you might be a redneck pilot if...

… your stall warning plays “Dixie.”
… your cross-country flight plan uses flea markets as check points.
… you think sectionals charts should show trailer parks.
… you’ve ever used moonshine as avgas.
… you have mud flaps on your wheel pants.
… you think GPS stands for going perfectly straight.
… your toothpick keeps poking your mike.
… you constantly confuse Beechcraft with Beechnut.
… just before impact, you are heard saying, “Hey y’all, watch this!”
… you have a black airplane with a big #3 on the side.
… you’ve ever just taxied around the airport drinking beer.
… you use a Purina feed bag for a windsock.
… you fuel your wizzbang 140 from a Mason jar.
… you wouldn’t be caught dead flyin’ a Grumman “Yankee.”
… you refer to flying in formation as “We got ourselves a convoy!”
… there is a sign on the side of your aircraft advertising your septic tank service.
… when you are the owner of Red Neck Airlines and pilot of Redneck One.
… you subscribe to The Southern Aviator because of the soft paper!
… you have ever incorporated sheetrock into the repair of your aircraft.
… you have ever responded to ATC with the phrase “That’s a big 10-4!”
… you typically answer female controllers with titles like “sugar” or “little darlin’.”
… she responds with the words “Honey” or “Big guy” then she may be a redneck.
… you have ever used a relief tube as a spitoon.
… you glance down at your belt buckle to help you remember your N-number.
… you have ever tried to impress your girlfriend by buzzing her doublewide.
… the preprinted portion of your weight and balance sheet contains “Case of Bud.”
… your go/no-go checklist includes the words “Skoal” or “Redman.”

Wow, @Tim-37419! You've made me feel so suave and cultured down here in Sweet Home!!

Swave and deboner.

From the book ChickenHawk which is a pretty good read, mostly for Army helicopter pilots, but it is an aviation novel.

I’ve probably been called Redneck, Cracker, Whitey and a few others, but think of my self as “Southern Gentleman” :)

lol… being from the South and kinda a Redneck I’m offended….. just kid’n, I don’t get offended 

Good because I didn't mean to offend anybody. But I am considering putting a giant number 3 on the side of my fuselage. Depending where I fly, that could get me premium ramp space.

Maybe, but I've heard Buc-ee 1 on the radio more than once.  That's a big 10-4 good buddy, the hammer is down, 10 big ones on the altitude and head northwest Buc-ee 1
