You who have seen the Dos Equis commercials of "The Most Interesting Man in the World," this makes sense. If you haven't, here are some examples of their descriptions:

"His blood smells like cologne. His organ donation card also lists his beard. He can speak Russian... in French. He is... the most interesting man in the world." For videos, check YouTube, they're worth watching.

So, inevitably on Facebook the ideas got started for what constitues the most interesting pilot in the world:

"He hand flies CAT III approaches to teach the autopilot how it's done."
"He covers the AI and HSI because IMC is just too boring."
"Thunderstorms fly away from him. When he encounters severe icing, he turns it into severely good margaritas."
"He got through Mexican customs in 10 minutes... but then they stopped to question him. Just because they found him interesting."
"He does not need to file a flight plan - he can fly whenever and wherever he likes."

He is... the most interesting pilot in the world.

Other ideas? :)

Everyone agree with him, even people on POA and the SZ. (or something like that)
 
"Stay current, my friends."
 
Customs advises HIM of THEIR travel plans.
GPS satellites get their time source from HIM.
The FAA chief counsel solicits HIS opinion.

"I don't often use Navaids, but when I do, I prefer four-course ranges"

Stay proficient, my friends.
 
Sounds like the Chuck Norris of aviation!
 
"Thunderstorms fly away from him. When he encounters severe icing, he turns it into severely good margaritas."

That really sounds like a Chuck Norris Pilot lol.
 
He creates his own High Pressure center wherever he goes.
His limitations section is empty.
He drinks liqour and pees 100LL.

He is... the most interesting pilot in the world.
 
"When he flies, the transition level comes to him.
His N-Number simply reads 'NERVES'.
When he hand props, the aircraft revolvs around him, he is,
The most interesting pilot in the world...

"Flying on a clear day never gives you the same ground speed as riding a microburst."

"Stay current my freinds..."

"He doesnt ask if the MOA's are active. The military pilots ask if he is active"
 
"He chooses his own squawk code."
"He has a private strip with runway 37"
"Controllers are always asking him to 'Say again, pretty please?' "

"I don't always practice unusual attitude recoveries, inverted, at 50 AGL, above a treadmill, while wearing a blindfold, but when I do, I prefer leaning forward."

He is ... the most interesting pilot in the world.
 
You guys are good. Really good!!!:D
 
...Jesse Angell gave him a shirt...

ATC asks him to climb and maintain field elevation or higher.

He's makes approaches in fog so thick, he can't see the instruments.

His sleeves have five stripes.

He is, the most interesting pilot in the world.
 
When he posts, Ron Levy, the Chief Counsel, and Rotor & Wing reply, "Of course, what fools we've been..."

When he describes Angle of Attack, Kent is speechless.

Henning wishes he were him.

He is -- the most interesting pilot in the World.

Sounds like me.
 
Chicago Approach asks him to please fly through their airspace...
ATC advises him when THEY are ready to copy his amended clearance of "Direct to Destination"...
His runway is always the 'active' runway.... always...
Airliners hold short for him to fly a 15 mile final just to catch a glimpse of him landing...

"I don't always file flight plans, but when I do, I am guaranteed to survive..."

"Stay current, my friends."
 
He never lands. The earth moves up to gently caress his wheels.
His Terrain alert feature alerts the terrain.
WAAS time hacks to him.

"I don't always file flight plans, but when I do, I file direct..."

"Stay current, my friends."
 
All I can say is that to me, the most interesting pilot in the world ain't no "him"....
 
He still flies formation with Flight 19...

He is the most interesting pilot in the world.
 
BTW I'm collecting these, and they'll be printing in the June issue of the Colorado Pilots Association newsletter. It'll be available online about the first of June.

Everyone will be anonymous of course, but I'll give credit to POA as the source.
 
...is the one that quietly walks in without being intrusive, is quietly polite while raiding the pop/junk food machines or calls FSS then goes back out to what he's doing on his own at his hangar that no one really notices is there.
 
This is really getting silly: most of the pilots I know don't think someone else is the most interesting pilot in the world (ducking and running).

Best,

Dave
 
A few more:

He doesn't call the tower for clearance, the tower calls him to see if they can borrow some of his air space, for some other planes.

Aircraft manufacturers pay him to own and fly their airplanes.

He is the only man to ever hand-prop a 747-400......

Maybe he wasn't the first person to wing walk. But he was the only one who wing walked on the SR71 at mach 2.

He once received a standing ovation after reading the entire FAR/AIM to a capacity crowd at Giants Stadium.

He is... the most interesting pilot in the world.

"I do not always fly piston aircraft. But when I do, I prefer Pratt & Whitney."

Stay current, my friends.
 
The bermuda triangle was a square, until it got in his way...
 
hmm.

The Bermuda Triangle was a square, until he folded it.
He can hover an R-22 while caressing his supermodel co-pilot.
TCAS never gives him an RA.
He's fully ADS-B compliant... and 978/1090ES bilingual.
His longest wait at KTEB was three minutes.
Jesse Angell has a pin-up of Him on the wall.
He's the only man known to have bested Henning in a drinking contest.
Scott Migaldi would vote for him, even if he ran as a Republican.
He took Ariel Tweeto's virginity.... in flight.

He is... the most interesting pilot in the world.

"I don't always frequent aviation chat boards, but when I do, I prefer Pilots of America. Stay proficient, my friends."

Hey! What f we don't want to be anonymous?!
 
"Amelia Earhart wasn't really missing, she was just hanging out as his private beachside airstrip in the Pacific."

Bermuda Triangle ones were creative...

Need one Presidential TFRs, Position & Hold versus Line up and wait, C vs. P vs. Bo vs. Mooney debates...

He can fly his helo with a porn star providing services, and the FAA inspector in back will suspend his own ticket.

His lavatory for the mile high club is bigger than the inside of the TARDIS?
 
He once had to land due to a bird strike, and upon returning to his aircraft, was treated to a gourmet meal by the flock of birds.

Air Force One holds position, so he can pass through its airspace.

He once flew VFR from Philadelphia to Martha's Vineyard, blindfolded.

He never shoots approaches, he makes his own.

He is the most interesting pilot in the world.
Stay current my friends.
