Nothingness Fluff ,part 2

[jumpman23]

My first ever flight lesson I was going to be Mr Bad A** pilot guy. Walk out onto the ramp and break out my aviators, felt like I was the man. Flight instructor looks at me and says "Ready to fly Maverick?" Never wore aviators ever again.

But that's okay, because come Monday, you are RICH! Lol.

You betcha. I'm gonna get myself a new iPhone and will have just enough over to maybe pay for the wedding. *cries*

I got drunk and sang you've lost that loving feeling to my fiancee at a karaoke night one time. She was embarrassed as hell. But she didn't lose that loving feeling.

Blazin and drinking smoothies?

Who isn't?

I'm working up to FT management, I apologize on behalf of my people.

When I was flying with the Dept. of Natural Resources as a fire spotter right after I retired I got many hours of free flight lessons from the pilot (he was a certified flight instructor). I got quite comfortable flying that little Cessna 172 as long as it was up in the air. One evening as we were landing for the day I kept waiting for the pilot to take over. All he kept saying as he was talking me down was "you are doing fine". I was a nervous wreck but I landed the plane. To this day I don't know just how much "help" he gave me (he said I did it myself) but I do know there is a BIG difference in keeping a plane level in the air as compared to landing one.

Never apologize for wanting to better yourself!

Never landed one or took off.
I feel pretty confident I could fly one into a skyscraper.

Your first landing is scary for everyone. I bet you did just fine. The hardest part of landing isn't the actual approach, it's making sure you have the nose high enough off the ground! If you didn't hit the ground with the prop it was a good one!

It was a joke!

Taking off and landing are the easy parts. Flying it straight and level is another story.

Some of those POS who did that actually learned to fly in Minnesota. Their instructor said they weren't interested in learning how to land. It always amazed me that the red flags didn't start going up then.

 

[sailfish]

Pervert. @Indecisi0n is going first. @Sailboat422 second.

Why us? And why in that order?

I don't think anybody ever imagined people flying planes into buildings. I know it sounds weird now, but that's something that was unheard of.

It's always interesting to think of how different everything would be had 9/11 never happened.

On one hand my airport full body searches would be a lot less common and enjoyable.
