FREEZE! Or I'll give you a ridicules smile and see how many chins I can make while I'm listening to my ipod.
Here are the tools of the trade. My flight manual (NATOPS) and my 9MM pistol. The flight manual is for keeping the aircraft in the air, and the pistol is for when the flight manual fails. So far, flight manual: over 1700 hours, pistol: zero! Life is good:-)
If you were my flight station looking at me, this is what I would look like, a king upon his throne, ruler of his domain, and severally over-exposed...
Finally, there are those of you who are fascinated with the speed of my aircraft (and you know who you are!!!). For you I give you the airspeed indicator. That's right, the one on the top left. Although we are capable of speeds up to 405 knots at sea level, you can see we are only doing 220 knots at the moment. Sorry for the disappointment:-(.

lol! look at you packin'... tough guy. ;)
and really, for being on a tropical island, you'd think you wouldn't be SHINING white!!! :) :) :)
thanks for all of the pics... you keep that natops winning, ok?
Lol! Hey, you're not impressing anyone - I have more chins than that without even trying!
I love that you have a blog, it is so much fun to see your photos!
Hey I will beat your chins anyday with mine...they are bigger and I have more of them :)
(from leslie... luv2talk... the computer genius who couldn't get blogger to work, so she needed me to post this)
Stan, Stan, Stan.....it doesn't matter what the "air speed" is....it matters what the "plane speed" is. Just because the wind is blowing 20 miles an hour while I am running, doesn't mean I am running 20 miles an hour. Didn't they teach you this in airplane school?
Let me see Leslie, if the wind is blowing 20 mph and you think you're running 20 mph then your ground speed would be 0, which means you are not running at all;instead you are just standing there eating an ice cream cone, unless an observer from a space ship traveling at 299,999 meters per second saw you standing there in which case you would appear to be really short do to "length contraction" according to Einstein's theory of relativity. But sense my airplane does not travel at the speed of light simple Newtonian physics well do, and you better eat your ice cream before it melts. Yeah, I think I got it! ;-)
Stan, I think the altitude is affecting your brain! Are you getting enough oxygen? Do you have a dial for that? Better check it! Do they have ice cream in space? Does it have the same amount of calories as the ice cream on Earth? Speaking of Newtonian Physics, do you like Fig Newtons? They are a HEALTHY Cookie...I think even Mr. Einstein would agree to that.
When you are typing all these Blog entries, who's flying the plane?
Take 2 oxygen pills and call me in the morning!
See ya!
luv2talk....who, speaking of Fig Newtons, had a "cookie" problem, and that's why NOTHING WAS WORKING on my stupid computer...but Kenny helped me fix it...SO THERE! NOEL! SMARTY PANTS!
Speaking of a lack of oxygen and cookies, happy birthday Leslie. I probably forgot it because of my hypoxia, I'm sorry.
Stan, that flight manual could sure use some color...plain white? I think you should give it to Noel to put some cute ribbon on it, maybe some multi-colored buttons, and possible some lace around the edges. That way, all your squadron will say, "Wow, look at how manly Stan is. He let's his wife decorate his stuff."
Thanks for the BIRTHDAY wishes, Stan. And since you brought it up, I had chicken hypoxia when I was little. Wasn't fun. Too bad you have it now. I hear it's harder to have it as an adult. Makes you light-headed and confused....sorta like Noel is all the time...but then, you know that!
Smile! (you never know when someone might be taking your picture from 20,000 feet at 405 knots!)
lol! collin... do you have any work manuals you've let liz decorate? maybe we could have a little decorate your husband's work stuff party... hmmm... i see a business opportunity.
Cuz' -- I was just scrolling thru the nice photos, and there it was!!! Proof that we really are related. The chins and the goofy smile...just like mine!!! You poor thing!
