You might be a redneck pilot if...

This may have been posted before but here goes.

You have more than one roll of duct tape holding your cowl together

You factor in mud and manure into your weight and balance.

You steal gas from your tractor so you can go flying

You've never actually landed at a real airport even though you've been flying for twenty years

You've had to groundloop to avoid a cow

Anything above 500 feet AGL is considered high altitude

You have parts on your aircraft labeled "John Deere"

You've never had to buy a sectional because "you have every dang Texaco road map for your area"

You have brown streaks on both sides of your aircraft, one from exhaust, the other from tobacco.

NEXT???????

Real story
Last year went to look at an L-2 way down south. I asked the guy when was the last time he flew it and he responded "this week". Later when I was looking at the logs I noticed the last annual was 1992 and there were a couple of hundred hours since then. When asked about the lack of annuals signed off in the logs he told me he had a buddy pencil whip the first one and he didn't see much need for one after that. I really doubt the medical and flight reviews were current either. He was offended when I called it a project but the weight of the mud daubers nests and the rips in the fabric gave it away for me. Anyway it was trucked home and is waiting it's turn for restoration.
