I have to say, the last 2 times I have done PnP flights I have been very frustrated. Both times someone who was supposed to fly with me flaked on me, leaving me hanging. I showed up at 11:15 this morning to do a good preflight and get the plane loaded, and grab a bite to eat. I get a text at about noon saying my passenger (and the person who was going to split the costs with me) couldn't make it. I have to say it's hard to stay mad at her, because she is really cute.
I was pissed when I took off, but as soon as I got on top of the clouds I felt alot better. I really like being on top, it feels like your own little world separated from everyone else. Everything was perfect.

On the way back from Mt Pleasant about 40 miles from Boerne I passed within a mile of one of Redbirds airplanes, and (as I suspected) it turned out to be one of my friend Johns students on the way back from his solo XC.

This is what my view looked like most of the way to Mt Pleasant

Here's the dog. It was a Walker Coonhound, sweet dog but scared of its own shadow. All of the shelter dogs I have transported have been like that. It makes me furious that someone could beat a dog.

Tupac, I think it's fantastic that you're involved in such a great program.

Tupac,
On the inspection panel just inside the pitot tube...what is that knob thing on the panel?

It is some kind of attach point for an antenna. My mechanic says it was probably used to relay signals from smoke jumpers on the ground to the planes flying before satellites came around. He said that was the only other time he has seen anything like that. It's strange, because the plane doesn't have many hours (just hit 3,000 TTAF)
All of the wiring is still intact, too.

You're a terrible person because you haven't figured out the mystery of the northwoods wipeout.
I talked to the Engineer and his Son last weekend and they stand by their eyewitness reports.
They aren't pilots though, so...

You were hitting up a really cute girl to split the costs for a flight in an airplane your parents pay for?
It's a real mystery why she ditched you for a dude who doesn't take her Dutch to the movies.
And you're off altitude... ;)

What makes you think they pay for everything? I pay for every dime of gas with money from mowing lawns and washing planes. SHE contacted ME because she wanted to do PnP flights, but she had something come up with one of her students (she is a CFI)

I Fragilis - derived from Latin to describe the AH BBS personality Tupac
Relax Tiger. Not everything is a cheap shot and you could definitely make a factual case on this particular jab.
I can see this being how you'll earn the nickname Francis. As in, lighten up Francis.
That should stick pretty well.

Our mini pin is scared of everybody. No one has ever laid a hand on her.
She will run down the bear in our neighborhood if she gets the chance.
Guess she is bullet proof when it comes to other furry creatures.

Basically what I've done is gone over your head and commenced the needling process referencing an apparent lack of girl getting prowess based on some relatively innocent comments of your own.
What I've done is draw some parallels and lended credence to the hypothesis that your ability to pull trim is substandard in comparison to another hypothetical individual. And that's not a flying jab, either.

Ok, I understand. I can't say I'm in disagreement, either. For someone in my position I do have difficulty "pulling trim" as you put it.
That is a topic for the "Let's get Tupac another girlfriend" thread, however.

I don't want to sound like Tupac's goon squad, but I don't understand how what you think you are doing is funny. Writing cryptically and laughing to yourself alone in front of your computer doesn't do it for me. However if that's how you get your jollies more power to you. I know exactly what you mean when you say, Ah, I didn't realize she wasn't interested in the first place.
why don't you just come out and say it instead of dancing around the subject.

You don't need a girlfriend. You need a summer fling with a chick who is promiscuous but still clean. Bob Seger wrote a song about the chick you need.

It's nice to be able to give proper advice such as this where my niece gets kickboxing lessons and weapons. :)
I'd be happy to be your wingman but only when you're of legal age and so are the girls. Chris Hansen wouldn't approve otherwise.

One of my favorite songs. Bob Seger has some great ones. In my state I am legal, and I wouldn't date a girl younger than me. Most of them are about as stable as a crackhead - I am quite fond of the CFI girl, and she follows me around like a lost puppy whenever I am at the airport so it might be mutual. She even laughs at my really dumb jokes (All of my jokes are really dumb)

He's a big boy, just ask em. I'm not treating him any different than say one of my younger cousins around his age. He can figure things out on his own if he wants to. Just like how I didn't call him weak as his googling suggests but rather called his ego fragile. (as much as decade old Latin will allow anyway)
I'm not kicking him for sport.

Plus the point you raised was quite valid.

Just as a general guideline or rule of thumb:
You're not going to get in her pants by going Dutch.
That's not a set in stone law but it's a good guideline. A fair trade off is at least when it comes to paying the dinner check is always always always get it the first time and if she offers to pay politely decline. If she insists, offer her the chance to pay next time. That's legit.
In the case of cost sharing on a flight you're doing anyway, politely decline her offer to pay if she makes it. You're in an airplane so you need to hold yourself to that higher standard, man up and be a baller.

This is very solid advice, thank you.

To be honest Golfer isn't treating him any different than he would treat anyone else. Those of us that
have been around him in game and real life know this is how he treats everyone, and it is all in fun.
If they met in real life Golfer would be the first to help him, or poke fun at him depending on how the
mood took him at that time.

Oh, and here's some advice Tupac, next time you go "flying" with her (if that's what you kids call it these days) make sure to wear a parachute! :cheers: :D

Aircraft: PIPER PA-34-200T, Registration: N47506
Injuries: 2 Fatal.
The private pilot and a pilot rated passenger [two pilots] were going to practice simulated instrument flight. Witnesses observed the airplane's right wing fail in a dive and crash. Examination of the wreckage and bodies revealed that both occupants were partially clothed and the front right seat was in the full aft reclining position. [The pilots had converted the co-pilot seat to a bed.] Neither body showed evidence of seatbelts or shoulder harnesses being worn. [They were lying on the bed.] Examination of the individuals' clothing revealed no evidence of ripping or distress to the zippers and belts. [Their lack of clothing seemed to be voluntary.]
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot in command's improper in-flight decision to divert her attention to other activities not related to the conduct of the flight. [The pilot and co-pilot were having sex, and nobody was flying the plane.] Contributing to the accident was the exceeding of the design limits of the airplane leading to a wing failure. [The lack of a pilot caused the plane to fly erratically, over-stressing the wing and leading to a crash.]

B-17 pilot out on the town wants to impress his date, goes back to the field and hops in a B-17. Cranks up and takesoff but crashes right after takeoff (it was a dark, stormy night). Both survive.
