That one is decades ago, when we were two couples running a flying school. Our turf runway got really soft every spring, and very muddy and messy. We sometimes had to wait days before we could use it.

So one night, the other couple are in bed and my buddy, in his sleep, apologizes to his girfriend : "I'm sorry dear, we can't make love tonight because the runway is too muddy"

When I turned down a date cos I wasn't type rated on wide-bodies.

Add me to the under the wires dream. Many times. I assume because I've daydreamed it and that wierd fear manifests as a effed up dream.

[Airtids]

Yup,
Another wire flyer. With me it's downtown, big city, skyscrapers, DC-3. Same thing- never have made it. I also am tasked with flying under wires on occasion in the real world, and I really have to say I like it about as much as SPIFR.

I've in the past been driving along, seen a lightning strike, and reached down for the pad of IFRs. Ran the Landcruiser out of gas a few years ago, and instinctively reached to the eyebrow panel to hit the boost pumps.

dreamed that I was driving around town in a plane... pulled into the company parking lot, dinked a wingtip trying to park, got yelled at by CP and then flapped my arms and flew away on a "trip"..

[Masta-Fred]

referring to my vehicule instruments i sometimes find myself saying my "airspeed indicator" and "CHT gauge"

[F,D and H]

You know you fly too much when your own wife now says "Say again" back to you.

I catch mine saying ogie, stand-by and ninner...

[Rudder Bug]

Anyone else have flying dreams, esp about flying
underneath wires?

I have those dreams very regularly, or taking-off with a helicopter under wires, no way in between - I don't fly choppers in the real life but in my dreams I do it all the time and well. This might mean we have so many projetcs and they can't all get-off. Yup, remembering and analysing our dreams can be interesting!

STL, you bring up another situation that is stressful.

And that is when you come home with a dose of clap and when the wife has to be treated you blame it on her , by claiming you caught it from her......and she breaks down and starts to cry and admits to it.

Driving home from work you read all the license plates you see phonetically. Or measure every road to see whether you could set down on it if the engine fails.

I usually fly into rocks that appear out of the clouds, whenever I have pizza before bed....

[Starfighter]

Engaged cruise control and took my hand of the steering wheel for a few seconds. Then I remembered said hand *was* the auto-pilot. Thank god for straight highways...

[Chickaddd]

I spot the licence plates with airport codes in them, mostly from Northern Ontario.

[FlowPack]

Ever been driving down the highway in a heavy crosswind (alberta chinooks) and keeping constant pressure on the wheel to keep from being pushed out of your lane?
I think cars should have a trim wheel for that.

[DHC3Rwannafly]

When I leave my cabin, I start sweeping infront of my tires

[ScudRunner]

Never had the Under wire dream, probably because Ive flown under a few in my time. Bridges are fun too.

Anything to do with Airplanes in movies I feel the need to point out every detail thats inaccurate.

When you automatically dial 8 before each phone#

[SierraPoppa]

say again

or even better.........

I find it's the phraseology that creeps across from my little ATC life into my real life.

It doesn't go away.

Been retired for nine years and still do it and use phonetics when asked to spell something out.

... you come home late at night and you turn your cell phone on and off quickly in an attempt to turn on the lights.

... you pull your fuel tester out when the sommalier approaches the table.

... you go to slip into something more comfortable and it turns out to be your flight suit.

... you get stopped for speeding and you try and convince the cop that your static port must have been blocked.

You're driving in Rain and you're not sure what the OAT is? (On my cheap Car!)
so you keep looking for the OAT gauge.

As you're driving you're wiper blades start to ice-up, so you keep looking on the overhead
panel and trying to turn on Anti-Ice, and then you just wish you had that option on you're Car.

And wandering why the hell isn't the radio traffic guy, not mentioning the CRFI for the roads.

Sounds like i'm suffering from the Caravan syndrome.

I was just at the car show and some of them do now

Dreams or habits aside, what about when you work so many shifts in a row that you show up on a day off simply out of routine?
