Occasionally I like to read what DVA Pilots write in the comments box of their flight log .
sometimes it can make for interesting reading, I would like to share what some of our Pilots
jot down once they leave the cockpit , excitement, frustration, satisfaction , anger are all reflected in
those few lines. sometimes down right hilarious and even moving. here is a sample:
DVA Log-book Treasures 1
'Ialmost ended up at the right airport!
'I flew this flight because I was 5.5 miles behind Terry our president
'Smooth but bumpy landing' !! 
'I didnt think it was going to be that long' !!
'forced to go around twice, went around once.'
This one is excellent:
"Hand flying the DC8-71 with a REAL working and darn accurate Sperry autopilot.No set and forget,no capture functions,no autothrottles...One MUST master this aircraft to have truly lived"
'737-800 has an odd problem: it sinks into the runway and crashes'
'extra long flight to hawaii, mostly because the pilot fell asleep and had to add some extra gas to the tanks when he woke up' ???

"They give all the cool routes to the ERJ nowadays :-( . Shame on you Delta Air Lines."
"ACARS sucks. Was about to make my descent into ATL when the thing crashed so I tried to recover and it won't. Then FS crashed so I retarted but won't recover flight"
"This aircraft was a lot harder to handle than I thought. Fast little sucker though."
"I had to rely on default FS9 ATC and the cleared me for landing with another airplane like only 1 mile in front of me and had to perform a go-around."
These are actually mines

This is awsome this should be a topic for the Delta Fly each month, top 10 flight comments, I think that would rock!
This should get bumped to General Aviation to see if we can get a few peoples own comments haha. I love the Hawaii one thats great.
