I wanted to do this also. I registered www.jointhemilehighclub.com I had an
idea of going to carnivals putting up a booth and taking couples up getting
a mile above ground and letting them join the club. Give them some shirts
collect $500.00 and call it a day. That sounds like a fun job.


One of our local FBO's did it with a Cherokee Six.

They cut a foam barrier out of egg crate / mattress pad foam that
velcro'ed in place behind the pilot. They tossed some big pillows and
stuff in the back, and booked "Sunset Love Flights"!

Was he successful? If so, I'm thinking of doing the samething for
simmers, "Mile High club, Simulated". This should bring in more profit
because the insurance would be cheaper, and just think of the fuel
cost! g

I purchased at the height of the RE boom.
Bought it 100% financed with a 10 year interest only loan.


That wasn't too smart.


Shiite happens Larry, I didn't let it stop me.
