Logging time in a P51D?

[...] if a friend and I make an hour and a half flight
to OKC and back, each flying one way and safety pilot the other, we both
log
2.8 PIC and 2.8 X-C????

Assuming you and your friend agree that the safety pilot will be acting PIC,
yes.

BTW, one question mark suffices. A sentence is either a question or it's
not. You can't make it MORE of a question by adding question marks.

And you can't make your criticisms more appropriate by putting two
spaces after a period instead of one, as though you were still using a
typewriter.

Matt's question was about logging flight time, not about English
composition.

"You're an asshole". Now, that's a criticism. I was just offering an
observation. I find it pretty funny when people add extra question marks
and exclamation points, for the reason I already stated.

As for the extra space, you mean you aren't reading this using a
fixed-spaced font? How do you enjoy all the wonderful sig art then?

shouldn't that be
"You're an asshole."

No.

According to my grammar handbook and any style guides available online,
periods always go inside closing quotation marks.

With that, I hope to never discuss grammar on an aviation newsgroup
again. I'll try to remember that there are those on here who think that
correspondence on here should always be in formal style.

"Any style guides available online"? Really? You've read every single one?

Interesting. In any case, a) you are referring only to the American
"standard" usage, and b) it's based on out-dated typographical needs (to
protect delicate periods and commas from wear and tear during the printing
process). You didn't even bother to ask whether I learned English in the
US, or elsewhere where a different standard is used.

Many people, in the US and including myself, find the logical British
convention more compelling and use that instead. This is the way of the
future, and I choose to be there earlier than the laggards.
