Well then you're the exact opposite of Chuck!  ;D

Fireflyr does seem like the wise old bird indeed, but who's gonna be Al? :D
And just out of curiosity, would I fit in anywhere in that universe?
Actually, I think you would be the perfect Al character! Because sometimes you come up with perfectly logical and rational explanations when everybody else is just monkeying around!  ;D ;D

But before everybody's volunteering to become a cartoon character, here's three things to consider:
1) We can't turn everybody into a character. Well maybe if we're as big as the Simpsons some day and have an animated series... (I just wanted to say this here, because I'm the one who has to draw all this!  ;D )
2) It usually takes us a long time from the idea of a character until he finally appears in a comic.
3) You're going to be made fun of!! Heedless of your personal feelings!  ;D The "real" Jason has already asked us if he really is such a terrible student. No, of course he's not!

Having added these words of caution, bring on the ideas again!  :)

i've got a story/comic that everyone can relate to and probably 90% of us have done. let's see a show of hands of how many of us have been walking accross the ramp and you're not paying attention and you bang the sh@% out of your head on the aileron of a cessna. i've done that more than once and have also ran into the horizontal stabilizer of the geronimo. more than once hmmmm, this is giving me an idea for a new thread.......Freddy

That's right, it's Terminal Velocity!  I knew it was a Charlie Sheen line.

Yay, 2.5 pts!

Never hit my head on a Cessna, but I did crack my head on a flap rail on a PC-12.  Had just given it a bath and was squeegeing the floor underneath it.  Walked underneath the wing and found myself on the floor.  I was also pre-flighting a Seminole one day and stood up into the prop.  It caught me between my shoulder and my neck.  Sort of a Piper version of the Vulcan Neck Pinch.

Oh yeah... done that!!  You know how the aileron on a Cessna has those nice little ribbings .... well, I was preflighting and someone came up behind me to ask a question, we spoke, and I forgot how close I was to the aileron.  With the gust lock still in, it wasn't moving anywhere, and I turned around and WHAM... ended up with a nice set of diamond shaped indentations right along my forehead!  Luckily it didn't cut, or scar as a result.... that would have been a unique fashion statement indeed!

I'm not yet working on my CFI, but I do volunteer time at the St. Louis Science Center here, and give people the chance to learn a bit about aviation and how to fly around a bit using MSFS 2004, so I do know that I like to teach.  I'm about 3/5ths of the way through my Instrument Rating training currently.  Got a bit over 300 hours, so I'm doing my Instrument via Part 141.

keep at it Ted. I can't tell you how much $$ i wasted starting and stopping for that rating. and depending on where you are and what school you go to will dictate how hard your CFI will be. a few years back i tried twice here in houston where you have to use the FSDO. that aint easy!

Thanks :)  I know what you mean about wasting money with the start and stop syndrome.  I had that happen to me during my initial flight training for a short while.

Going through the FSDO would be quite nerve wracking indeed!!  It might actually make one less nervous though on the checkride since they probably grill you pretty well :)   I know the local FSDO rep here, and he's a terrific guy.  I sure wouldn't want to get him upset at me though :)  He's a former Vietnam chopper pilot in fact, and makes the rounds at the local Flight Safety Clinics.  He gives out little red adhesive dots that he asks you to put on your watch.  They are to get you to stop, and think, as a memory mnemonic, so you can double check yourself that you've done everything you are supposed to do on flight prep before you take off.  Got one on my watch right now in fact.  As Fred (the FSDO guy) says.... it also can be a conversation starter... "What's that red dot for?"   ;D

Mike... fyi, we had some bad storms pass through the area here last night and power went out.  Hopefully all will be operational tonight and I'll post my photo.

Saw your post regarding the warnings, etc.  No problem there :)  I'm usually the first to laugh at some of the funny things I end up doing :)  Gotta have a sense of humor in life... it's too short as is to go through it grumpy  ;D

Oh yeah! THE CESSNA DIAMOND !!
We should do a strip about that, or at least a single-panel-joke for the book and the voting incentives...
Good idea, I am sure Chuck has had (maybe a few too many) those before.
 ;D

Who put this one up? |:)\
That's awesome!!!

I've done it. a few years ago I was in charge of a cessna 172, and I was checking it after a flight when my phone rang, I got it while still walking to the cockpit, and was checking the caller ID while suddenly BANG! I knocked my head with the wing strut... it was a busy afternoon so I heard a couple of laughs and laughed at myself. it turns out the caller was my girlfriend at the time, who also laughed when I told her

If you use firflyr in one at least paint flames on my walker--my nurse here at the old pilots home thinks it gives me some panache!---Turns the old biddy on!!!! GRRRRR! ;)

Ted is without a doubt the one for Wilson, a virtual fountain of information that Chuck will never understand.

Them little bitty forehead marks are the Purple Heart decoration of experienced Cessna pilots but if you think walking into a wing while talking on the phone is dumb, lemme tell you about the day I was eating an ice cream cone and talking on my phone when I had to yell at the fuel guy about topping off my tanks and after yelling at him I resumed my phone call by jamming the ice cream into my left ear!!! :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

Looks like if Mike works up an Avatar for me it'll have the lower half of my face covered by the P.O.H. or the FAR/AIM :)

Look at it this way, fireflyr... you could have a new career in sales.  After all... isn't what you did the very definition of "cold calling" ?  ;D
