Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Airplanes with professional pilots are really safe. They're safer than driving in a car.

Privately owned airplanes are less safe than cars.

So, yeah... I'm pretty sure if we bought a plane (especially a 300 million dollar plane) we're gonna die in a horrible fiery crash.

If it's a small plane, odds are pretty good that I can get it off the ground AND I can probably land it, once I figure out what all the buttons do.

Also, only if it's good weather...

(I've piloted all sorts of planes in my life. I am not a qualified pilot but you can fly a plane with a qualified pilot if you want.)

Actually, I seem to recall you mentioning that you had some flying experience.

I have piloted a Cessna 150 several times but not since the early 90s LoL

Shit, we're can get that fucker in the air pretty easily. I can even do some of the pre-flight for something that easy to fly.

My buddy once let me take off in a similar Cessna while pulling back on the yoke. In my head, that made sense. Gotta go up! So, that means the yoke goes back!

Nope... You're supposed to leave the yoke in the neutral position until you're off the ground with sufficient air speed. Otherwise, you risk stalling and not even getting off the ground.

Point being, those planes are so easy to fly that you can get away with that sort of mistake and it's still gonna get you in the air. We were in no danger of crashing. We were in no danger of stalling, though we were probably approaching the stall point.

Hell, I've landed similar planes.

We'll be fuckin' fine!

(I am gonna recommend that you not fly with me until I have both a license and a bunch of hours.)

If I show up in a car and say 'get in', you should get in.

If I show up in a plane (as the pilote) and say 'get in', you should give me the finger.

I would even be frightened to get in a car with you, much less an airplane!

I know you are going to make it go fast
