"Well sure, O.K. they're Outcast", said some of the younger gulls, "but hey, man, where did they learn to fly like that?"

 

Outcasts RULE!!

All agreed that the sensation of coasting on the air was delightful.

The propeller is just a big fan in the front of the plane to keep the pilot cool. Want proof? Make it stop; then watch the pilot break out into a sweat.

More than anything else the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost, if you can conceive of such a combination.

If we are what we eat, then some pilots should eat more chicken.

[hihosland]

Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation.

 

 

Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others.

 

 

It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin.

You're mot allowed to talk about bulldust here Ho Ho.

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

If we are what we eat, and more pilots should eat chicken, then why are so many eating Turkey instead ??!!...............................................

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

Ozzie I just checked my parachuting logbooks, and you were crying like an old woman and yelling "please don't make me jump, no no " !!!!!........I had to pry your hands off the strut after calling for 'power on' !!!..............................................

 

 

[Guest ozzie]

Yeah right , and ya mother!

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

Ah, your quick Ozzie....and of course none of it's true......................................:robin::jump:

i do remember a pilot getting his returns on me after i played a joke on him in the pub the night before. i climbed out with one foot on the wheel both hands on the strut. i looked in at the instuctor and the pilot waved bye bye and took his foot off the brake..foot flew off the wheel and i took a death grip on the strut. trying to hook a leg on the strut i saw both pilot and instructor (John M) laughing. remembered i was wearing a chute and just let go. two lessons there. don't play tricks on pilot and a big difference between jumping and falling.

A pilot without fuel is pedestrian.
