Yeah, been there.

If I catch myself reading the scale wrong once I walk away and live to shoot another day.

Not the same as dialing a phone number backward. 😜
Unfortunately, I work with numbers all day long and am finding that I need to take more breaks to keep a clear head.

It’s amazing how a rounding error in an azimuth affects a line at 25k feet (less than 0.5 seconds of angle over 5+ miles).

They are impressive, even the “Civilian” version. I was still with the Department when CDF (now CalFire) transitioned from the Cessna Skymaster to the OV-10 for Air Attack C&C.

OV-10, it was a big improvement in that the OV-10 could get from one side of the Ranger Unit to the other in less than Half of the time.
