WIND IN HIS HAIR

HAAHA
Chuck is such a Walter Mitty kind of guy---of course, I've found many pilots have "active imaginations" 

[Oddball]

Know some model pilots like that too, dressing up in flight suits while at airshows  so people can ask them what they fly then they point to thier model spitfire (not me by the way before any one says anything)

Awesome strip, looks like a mixture of Oddballs signature and Snoopy to me . . .
I wonder when Chuck whips out the angle grinder and welding gear to turn the Cessna into an open cockpit biplane ?

Yeah Right Ian, Like you don't have a flight suit and goggles you wear to bed when you've been medicating

Funny, just the other day I was talking (typiing) with some friends about the quiet little fantasies we have about our flying.

Not that I ever step out onto the wing of my little tommy-hawk and gaze around the airfield after landing, imagining I look all windswept and intersting and am posed dramatically on the wing of something far more romantic.     A friend in a 152 admits he sits under the wing leaning against the wheel, daydreaming barnstormer thoughts.

Don't we all fly because we never grew out of those childhood daydreams...

Go Chuck!

I could just see me in the past... sitting in my ole' Peterbuilt, window down, scarf around my neck and being drawn out the open window to flap in the breeze, checking my rear view mirrors for the "enemy", i.e., Smoky Bear.   What a visual!  Hehe.

Wow. Very nicely said! 

I remember when I was a young boy I once told a girl that I thought romantic could also be sitting underneath the wing of your airplane while watching the sunset.

She laughed at me and said "THAT's not romantic!!! A candle light dinner....that's romantic!"
of course.....it didn't last.....

btw, sunsets on a fire are awesome !!! The way the smoke turns the sun all red !!!
(of course I got to see more sun-rises than I care to as well.......)

SHE HAD NO IDEA MIKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!       

And, well said leiafee!!!!        

A fire friend of ours went to a funeral today, of an old pilot who made it to 81, and flew most all his life.  There were photos of his old loves -- including the big bold Corsair of WWII -- and the many, many airplanes since.  A military salute also....  Then, his local friends flew a fly-by for him, too, with one guy pulling straight up, out of sight!

Now.....  THAT's romantic!!!

And he said the gentleman's wife just beamed, and loved it all......

Hat's off to you, Chuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     

 

[Oddball]

well artac you re not far off i hug my first edition Vulcan XH558 as i drift off to sleep.  For me its sitting on the second top step of the club hut  gazing down at the grass strip dreaming of me flying one of my fun fly's going low and slow doing touch and goes with a few aerobatics  thrown in or flying formation with the local buzzards just as the sun goes down.

[Fabo]

She laughed at me and said "THAT's not romantic!!! A candle light dinner....that's romantic!"

Candle lit dinner is not romantic, its a cliché.

You ere the one right in here Mike!

[Frank N. O.]

Sorry for the late response. That was so fun, but howcome he does't just jump in the Pitts and fly? (I know, fuel prices).
Btw, hair? What hair?

I agree with the thought that we never grow up from those dreams, and I don't think we need to either as long as we know dream from reality, especially for those that can make a dreamy reality

So next week will be Sparky catching chuck removing the doors from the Cessna?
Or maybe taking an ultralight lesson?
