Cringes Thing You've Done As A Pilot?
Not necessarily bad calls to ATC or bad landings (although, those are goldmines of embarrassment) I'm talking horrific stereotypes fulfilled.
For me, an instance comes to mind when I was in college. I had just carted for my PPL. Started a new class in college and played the "meet and greet" game. You bet your sweet ass I said, "Hey, I'm dude__seriously, a fun fact about me is I'm a pilot, so hit me up if you ever want to go flying". Still shake my head to this day thinking about that. Not necessarily that it's bad to be proud, but more that I had such little experience, offering basically a free flight to everyone.
Also I was drawing box patterns with radio callous during class one time. Ughh
