Sorry gentlemen and one or two lady pilots, but I need to get your help with this one.!

You all know that with the hike in the petrol price and electricity prices also on the increase it is getting very difficult to find reasonable excuses why we HAVE to go and fly.
This at a time when there are no money for milk and bread and the kids having to go to school without sandwidges.
I am running out of excuses and wonder if there are some of you okes who might help with a couple of believe-able lies.!!
I am sure that amoungst the older and more experience pilots a lot of worthy proofen lies might exist.?
Hopefully my wife (and yours) will not be reading this.!!

Blue Max, a good excuse is that your trike is only "using 5-6 litres/hour". No problem............

No, no . . . . lies, no matter how "innocent", will catch you out!

So firstly, when you are next up there burning holes in the sky make a conscious effort to think about your wife and children . This is necessary because you always want to be telling the truth . . . . see my next point!

THEN . . . . do something REALLY NICE for your wife and/or kids and, at the right moment, slip in that "I thought of this when I was flying the other morning. I use my flying time alone to think about you and the kids . . . it works really well for me!" . . . . . and then, depending on how successful you feel this phase has gone, you might want to go for phase two, by adding something along the lines of "Most of my friends spend DOUBLE what I do flying when playing a round of golf or sitting around in pubs drinking and chatting up woman"! Of course, if YOU play golf and/or sit around in pubs you might not want to play this hand!

All of this does not help the fact that your kids DO need those zarms for school! Maybe starting a vegetable garden might "buy you some fuel"!

'Just a thought!!

Easy. I tell her I'm meeting some friends at Teasers for drinks....and she always responds. I don't know why you want to go to Teasers rather go and fly!

Hi All

What i do is when i want to Fly I get really busy at home doing everything the wife wants done but then i tell her i am going flying like a weekend or two before i catually get to go. I then also spend some quality time with her. This seems to work on occasion. My wife does not like my flying but i tell her if i do not fly she can be assured i will get a Bike or something Similar.

Also i slip in the fact that the more i fly the safer pilot i am and thins then will minimise the chance of getting into an accident.

To lie to Mommy will get you into trouble one day when your Buddies bust you by dropping a comment that they should have kept quite about (been there done that) still paying for it.

Hi there.... I agree - never lie, they DO ALWAYS catch up with you. Though I don't have a hubby to tell me not to fly, I feel the pinch as well as I still have a daughter in high school. Lately I have not been able to fly. Thing is the other daughter and my mom and certain friends will tell me to STOP flying, to get "my priorities in line", and all I say is... "Everyone has their vice, their thing that they do, and mine is flying, I will never give it up..."... So I try earn an extra buck or two by selling these "bling for Bags"... but FLY I WILL....

Fly Always...

Well the way I see it is...she has 2 choices at 05h00 in the morning SEX OR ME GOING TO FLY
Flying aways seems to win
