Oh but first we have this real cool rock collection we want you to see!
Really, they're all over the place. And we'll even let you take them home
with you! The best part is that they are FREE!

Real farmer masquerading as a Real Pilot


What you need is an Oshkosh style air show on your farm.
Back in the olden days, they would send a tractor with a big flat bed
trailer to wander around the grounds and the PA kept reminding people to
bend over and pick up a rock and toss it on the trailer as it went by.
They got a LOT of rocks picked up that way.
(At least I assume that was just years ago - shouldn't be many rocks left by
now - or am I mistaken?)

But to get back on topic - I've run into people who insist that they want to
fly "real" airplanes - not gliders...

What's this gliders thing. A few years back those were things we
towed behind C47s whos pilots were smart enough not to fly very far
over France.

Sail planes were what we now call gliders. :-))
