Me, too.

I remember flying from Neb to SoDak once, three section lines east after takeoff, turn left, don't cross another section line until turning base leg after 185 miles. And in AZ, flying a tour back to KSEZ from the Grand Canyon, a customer couldn't find the Jetranger's compass and asked me where it was. Took me a bit to remember. Asked me how I was navigating (we had no GPS in the helo yet) if not by compass or chart. "We just pass a tad to the left of that mountain and follow the canyon down to the airport." As Bob Hope used to sing, "thanks for the memories."
