I'm not a real Pilot?

Oh but first we have this real cool rock collection we want you to see!
Really, they're all over the place. And we'll even let you take them home
with you! The best part is that they are FREE!

What you need is an Oshkosh style air show on your farm.
Back in the olden days, they would send a tractor with a big flat bed
trailer to wander around the grounds and the PA kept reminding people to
bend over and pick up a rock and toss it on the trailer as it went by.
They got a LOT of rocks picked up that way.
(At least I assume that was just years ago - shouldn't be many rocks left by
now - or am I mistaken?)

But to get back on topic - I've run into people who insist that they want to
fly "real" airplanes - not gliders...

No brains, no headaches.

Want to see how fast you become a real pilot?


Of course, if they successfully land, your ego may implode.



Not likely

For much the same reason that some people think that people who fly simulators
cannot be real pilots. It's human nature to try to rank people, always in
such a way that the person doing the ranking turns out to merit a high rank,
whereas other people turn out to merit a low rank.


No one said you could not be one. Just that you are not one. Big
difference.

Heck, see what kind of barnstormers you can rustle up and see if they'll
practice "tail dragging" for you. That would (if they're 'real'
pilots g ) get you some nice, straight rows to plant seeds in! :P

Good thing I don't have an ego problem I guess...

I agree it is not likely they would successfully land....

Hmm.... I've supposedly made some pretty interesting marks in a gravel strip
with the tailwheel of a SuperCub.... interesting idea.

David,
Teach your daughter the word "aviator". Introduce her to fellow aviators.
Such as Lindbergh... Wiley Post... Amelia Earhart... Burt Rutan... The
Tuskegee Airmen... Doolittle's Raiders... take your pick of thousands of
aviators.... all of them... each and every one of them was first considered
themselves a pilot. I'm sure she's proud of her Dad, and deservedly so.

Jim
Be who you are and say what you feel. Because those who mind don't matter,
and those who matter don't mind.

Which makes it all the more humiliating if it happens.
