When you start the engine, you shout "Clear prop!"

You pull the E-brake to raise the seat.

You look in vain for the other shoulder harness.

You find yourself accelerating on right turns and slowing down on left turns.

You pull into a fog bank and focus your view onto the dashboard.

You merge on the highway and as you accelerate, you pull back on the steering wheel to try to takeoff.

PS: My grand-uncle flew Il-28s and actually did the last one, totaling his Mercedes (which weren't exactly easy to come by in the USSR).

I have found myself 'leaning to gunsights' as I follow another car at high speed down a major road

And I've tried to look left and right by turning my head slightly while keeping my eyes fixed in the same position...

gents nice thread :)

this is when you know you addicted to IL2

when you wake up 4am in Monday morning just to play 2hours of campaign with your buddies before office time even though time zone is off for you.
when you try to think about your work, you suddenly think of il 2 instead and stay sleepy at work whole day :):):):)

When the wife asks you to quickly go to the shops for some milk and bread.

You shout

2 Section - SCRAMBLE!!!!!!

And race with your keys out the door

**You look around when parking your car in front of your house, worrying about vulchers

** You try to find the slip indicator on your dash while driving down the highway

When you ask the Brits that work in your company what city they are from and you say I will bomb it tonight.

Some excellent ones gents, keep them coming!!!!!

Yes, good thread! I was driving along last week and caught a cessna taking off from a local airfield in my peripheral vision. I automatically reached for the prop pitch. Just as well I realised in time - it was the handbrake!
