Silly things we do before we go fly

[Bundy]

Morning,

I was wondering what silly traditions/habits you guys have (if any) before you go fly? We all seem to have some sort of routine...

I always play the Top gun CD fullblast in my car on the way to the airfield....gets me lekker in the "zone" (the Danger Zone! )
I always wear the same "lucky" cargo pants too... they are full of pockets and holes just the way I like them
I always stop at my local garage for a take away coffee and to fill up the "juice cans".

Be fun to hear what you all do to "prep"

[Alkemac]

I only get in on the left side

The last thing I do before I climb in.... is go for a wee wee - always! Luckily my plane does not have a "tail wheel" other wise I would have to pee on it

[pietmeyer]

John, i am with you on that one. I do not want to be the guy that pee in his pants when something goes wrong. I make therefor sure my bladder is empty

[Playboy]

I always make sure that there is a Hot Blond with blue eyes in the back seat
