I recently thought that I had seen it all until someone informed me that a guy was taking his dog for a glider ride. Now please understand I love dogs, have a wonderful Yellow Lab and treat her like our kid. Really never thought dogs and planes went well together, but what in the world would any responsible glider pilot think by taking his dog along for a ride in the single seat glider???
Can you imagine what the dog was going through as the owner pilot did about 1 hour of thermal turns and the dog got so sick that it puked all over the cockpit!!! Another rocket scientist member brings his dog to the hangar and ties it to a picnic table where an individual trips over the lanyard and almost does a belly flop on the concrete floor. What in the world will the next person bring? I am taking bets on an African Grey Parrot, maybe a Python from the Everglades, or could it be a pet Armadillo. I certainly hope the rest of you get smaller pets that require no flight training. Bob
