Aging...a true story

After returning from one of my flights, the other instructor I flew with, "Juggler," asked me if I missed his response to my first gas check. Usually the flight lead (in this case me) will check his wingman's gas total shortly after takeoff, a couple of times in the operating area, and on the return to base.

After pondering his question, I said, "I don't think so. Why?"

He came back, "You asked me my gas and then a couple minutes later you asked me again."

I shook my head and laughed. "Juggler, I'm 45 years old. Be happy I didn't ask you three times."
