Only trike pilots do (especially in a Windlass seat configuration) ! ##

:lol: :lol: :lol: As I go into straight and level and leave the bar to fly in perfect trim in my Aquilla, I often rest down my arms on the pax's legs and inform her that I have the best seat. Its like a "la zee boy" with the armrests and all... :lol: :lol:

Well now you see that depends on how you look at it Air Hog.... :)

...am I promoting it?..... or drawing attention to it? :wink: :lol: 8) ^

I just thought we needed a bit of comic relief from all the "serias talk" puff

Jokes aside, I love anything that can lift off the ground...flying is just such a priveledge (^^)
My ability to read roadsigns came in handy once after my inadvertent flight and near death into IMC in Aug 08, freshly graduated and stupid. As I turned over Warmbaths under the low cloud after crying about my imminent death, with the grainsilo's to my right, listening to the guys at the field preparing for my emergency landing, I picked up a roadsign - "Hammanskraal 60 km", and just followed the road to FreeWays. I was so stuffed in terms of direction at that stage, I did not know my east from my west. That roadsign came in pretty handy!! :wink: :wink:

IFR - I Follow Roads - worked for me on the day! Also - it was not like buzzing the deck - after I saw the sign I could climb to about 100ft and just follow that black ribbon untill it opened up above and I lost my shakes! :wink:

To this day people ask me if I remember how I just fell out of GeelKerneels after mags of on FreeWays and hugged the ground. Go see my posts on a number of topics about ascending into cloud. Lasting impressions.. (High jack of!)

The microlight pilot gets out of bed at 4am flying more than an hour in smooth weather before getting to the breakfast and hardly spends more buck on the fuel than the breakfast. He doesn't taste his brekkie because he is to concerned with the windsock and now has an angry wife at home!
Fixed wing pilots arrive a bit later, spends a ton of money to get there, then smirks at the microlight pilot for eating all the breakfast. Normally dressed in Pringle trousers and hair in perfect style but considering to skip breakfast and save the money for his MPI!
Gyro pilots keep the wife happy before getting up, loads her in the back of the gyro at 10am, flying as long as they want and landing in time for lunch or dinner with a little less fuel than the microlight!

Trike pilots get to dress up to fly, unlike the fixed wings who can't afford a flight suit.

Trike pilots get free time to fly without their wives coz they hate it. :twisted:
