This.Because PAOs are so good at recognizing the differences between different T/M/S's
Both the Marine FB and Twitter feed deleted the pic from the post - cleary a PAO got the hint. My remedial training is complete - I will do better next time

Clearly this belongs on some @mad dog page…not here. Maybe Dunkin vs Starbucks can spare some room for Taylor Swift vs Katie Perry.

They have long legs too
Did some training with a fellow flying club member and friend who has been med down the last 2 years - and finally got his First Class back - he's in the queu to go back to work flying the 787 - but for now, he was loving being back in the air after not touching the controls for 2 years. We got his ASEL class currency back and an IPC - so he can have fun in GA as he awaits training for work. Good times. On final for 19 at I68.
A-10 stuck on hard-stand here at Alpena (I'm here this week soaking up the rural Michigan Air and sun!). This jet diverted here for a maint issue the day before hundreds of contractors and machinery descended to tear up and replace runways. It still remains!

Interesting stuff. In my helicopter I am crazy weird about lashing things down. I even belt my chart bag to the seat. My iPad can attach to the panel but I don’t like it there because of the need to reach across the controls. I have also flown several hours with it mounted to my leg which is better, but not great. In either case, I have a few inches of paracord tied to it and then to a hook so it can’t fall into a void - like the rudder pedal area - that I can’t reach in flight. I’m currently working on a mounting system that will meet my needs and the unique aspect of the Enstrom.
When I first started flying in the -135 (probably the first month or two), I took off and at some point noticed that the collective didn't feel smooth. I didn't have enough time in the aircraft to really diagnose it other than it wasn't "optimal." When I landed, I looked down, probably to feel for the friction, and found one of the iPads jammed into the gap between the collective and center console. I'm assuming it was there from the previous pilot.
At the time, we had two full-sized iPads that we normally kept on the co-pilot side in between the center console and the seat. When they are located there in this particular aircraft, they can't physically move anywhere else. Otherwise, one of the iPads might be in the door. I don't know why the other pilot would have put it where he did, as he's usually a pretty conscientious pilot, but I'm glad the situation didn't turn out worse.
We now have one full-sized and one Mini. The full size (our primary) usually is in the same spot between the seat and the Mini lives in the cubby in the center console with our 5,000 checklists and power cables. If we're in a spare, the full-size usually lives in the door.
