Yes Im bragging, but there are perks to my job on occasion.
11:40 flight time, yes me bum is numb, but Id do it again tomorrow if they would let me (which they wont).
But Its my first flight on the -8F and hopefully I will do more now.

Well, I’m jealous if it makes you feel any better.
Just once around the pattern.
I’m jealous too!
So I assume then this isn’t you taking it for a ride to Hawaii?

Can you share any more details about what you did during the flights? Just curious.

Nope you gotta have 12hrs of rest before Preflight. Since that’s usually 5:30am the crew that flew yesterday couldn’t today
I rode . Im an avionics Engineer, so I was mostly taking notes how my stuff was behaving during simulated daily flights.

So…, when they cold soak the boxes of magic smoke do they soak you too?
That’s pretty cool, I was in the assend of 3 flights on Tuesday. OK but the movie selections this summer are pretty lame. Except for Anne Hathaway getting nekid. Gotta love European airlines.
I was just 30 miles south of it on the MDT to SEA route! If I was a little farther north I could have saw it as it flew over Mineral Wells.

Prolly a choice of the route planner . Or they may have been the only ones available for a Touch And Go at the time we arrived.
Not sure, not privy to that part of the planning. I know they stopped at Pittsburgh recently for a special Sandwich .
The FAA says, "The purpose of F&R testing is to evaluate the production version of the aircraft to ensure that the airplane, its components and equipment are reliable and function properly. ”

I read this and thought “it had to be that joint that puts fries in the sandwich”.
Yup.
