I've done it myself in a Citabria. 

Anyone who's ever dealt with Skydrol hydraulic fluid will get this. Ask me how I know.

One of my recent flights from Seattle to Portland had a great view of Mt St Helens

Not Flying but funny 'cause it's true...

For those on a budget and want to fly helos

That just reminds me on my own habit during navigation, to say "there is a lake (or airfield or village...) in my 2 oc low "....

Would be strange to spot a village in my high 2 oc... 🤪 

(Of course, what I have in mind when I say this is "that object in my 2 oc is allready quite close, so that I need to look down to see, nevertheless that formulation is stupid and it still happens to me everytime again...) 

 

Hmm... Preflight inspection?
