One of us! One of us! Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble, one of us! One of us!

And the award for the most obscure, random-ass allusion goes to.....

You replaced a picture of the Arizona memorial with that...sad.

Hmm, guess we don't have to wonder about what the half-life of that avatar was going to be....

 

[Flugelman]

Is that like a tragic strategy?

Actually started out as a play on words from something I had heard on "Three Stooges" years ago. Googled it... Unintended meaning.

I'll be more careful next time...

At least let the poor woman train in something sexy...like a 172...or a Cherokee. Smileys in effect.

I can barely fit my tall ass in a 150/2

No Cherokees at the club. They have 152's, a 172, T-41's (172 with 200 hp), and a Piper Archer. We're going with the 152 for now to save money (in order of wet cost it goes Archer, 172, T-41s, 152s).

After we get her PPL, we're going to get checked out in the T-41 for x-countrys. Until then, it's just too pricey. Luckily, I'm 5'7" and she's 5'3" so height in the 152 is not a big deal.

I can fly a 152, at 6'4"/260.. Its tight, but I can fly it fine once I am in.

Geez, and you were the one wondering where to get a shoehorn to squeeze you into the Goshawk!

In Soviet Russia, 152 flies YOU!

But where does the CFI/passenger sit? Outside?

I thought this thread was going to somehow parody 99 Luftballons.

Oh well.

 

[phrogpilot73]

You haven't lived until you've subjected yourself to 4 hours of a John and Martha King instructional video. Seriously, I got Dive Bomber for Christmas, my sons and I have watched twice already. Where else can you see a flight of 20 Vultee dive bombers fly over base ops at North Island at 150'?

How are they? PSW is in ground school right now, and I wouldn't say she's struggling, but there are times that she has trouble finding the "I believe" button. I was thinking about getting her some of the King videos to help...

The Kings' have no business being on video, but they are very skilled at spoon feeding the information those that can't (or won't) read any of the accepted publications.

Since PSW has no problem doing the reading, it seems that they wouldn't be good videos to boost her comprehension/understanding of the subject?

Probably not. She's better off with the book followed by seeing it done in the plane.

1. So when you two fly together....who is the PIC? (please no FAR citations)
2. I bet you two are going to plan all of your x-countries at 6000 feet. Too bad the mighty 152 does not have an autopilot.

Autopilot not required.... just a steady hand. Ahh.... great memories of my first time ever at the controls while dating a pilot babe....

It's what made me want to get wings myself!!!
