Nah. I don't like being around children much anyway. I wouldn't say
I hate them, but I don't want to go out of my way to be around them.
I'll stick with teaching adults to fly.
Today's young innocent faces, are tomorrow's clientele.
Of course, it was flying YE that I had my engine failure.
I had my cousin in the plane during my first complete avionics failure.
My friend and I laughed through the entire thing...we'd been in solid
IMC in the same plane the day before and were just so relieved it held
off that all we could do was laugh. Anyway, it was just your average
run of the mill failure in VFR. Once everything died and my friend and I
took our headsets off on final, she thought something was REALLY wrong.
I guess we didn't explain that the engine would keep turning.
My cousin freaked out once we got home. Her parents lectured me to no
end about how dangerous it was and how she shouldn't have even been with
me and how I needed to take flying more seriously (they were upset that
I thought the whole thing was funny). They'd thought she was sitting at
the airport while I went to fly. So yeah, I guess I would hate to deal
with parents.
But seriously, it was funny! Her first time in a small airplane and the
entire stack decides to die and we end up with light gun signals.
Light gun signals! I went years without seeing that. g
