Check into some of the local flight schools (Aviation Professionals at

Pilots as a group are generally friendly as well as generous (well,
sometimes...), but you won't find many who are willing to give rides to
people they don't know.



Amen to that...of course, there are people I work with everyday that I
wouldn't take up in an airplane! :-)

Add to which I wouldn't put it past some enterprising FAA wenie to put
this out hoping to catch those "big, bad pilots who break the rules".

You know, the types who are real pricks, think they know it all, and
are better than anyone else.....
