Do you want a bourbon, scotch, and beer?
Do you hope to one day get to fly that big GoodYear Blimp like they have at baseball games????
"ohhhhhhhhhhh wowwwwww. can you fly me to Florida/Vegas/LA/etc?"
Im always being offered drug run jobs from some of my bar patrons...I wish I were kidding.Ohhh can you fly us to hawaii one day?!? Sheesh I have heard that a billion times.
I typically get this
"What do you do?
"I am a flight instructor"
"Oh so do you know how to fly an airplane?"
"Haven't a clue, I just teach it."
My favorite happened in BWI.
A couple gets on and instantly complains about how the E-145 is the smallest airliner they've ever been on. Directly behind them, 2 Cape Air 402s were boarding. It was difficult not to tell them to respect the jungle jet, or I'd find a way to get them on the 402!
LOL I thought it was just me!
When I was based in Grand Rapids:
Co-workers: you know we have a base in Milwaukee...
Me: yeah I know. Weekends off...
Them: but you have to COMMUTE for that (pee dribbling down their legs)
Me: it's 20 extra minutes! Who f'in cares! It's the same routine either way, with a 20 minute plane ride added on and in return I had a LINE with WEEKENDS off. How many 1850 out of 1900 FOs can say THAT?? Some people really don't have a clue how to be content, lol...
I'm not exactly sure why ignorance is so prevalent with respect to aviation. I suppose aviation is a somewhat esoteric profession, but is a little rudimentary knowledge too much to ask??
One of each, please.
You got it!
I love that tune! Jam it in ma car all the time.
Which version do you like most? I like both the John Lee Hooker and the George Thoroughgood.
I grew up listening to a lot of Blues and Jazz. My Dad was big on Blues. I like both though.
If they're cool, take em flying! Why not? Good way to keep in touch with people and introduce them to something unique.and "oh I wanna go fly with you!s" that I have gotten. Gets old after a while.
