A new first

So we're climbing out of Prairie du Chein, WI (KPDC) on a beautiful early
fall afternoon. We've just been to the local riverboat's all-you-can-eat
buffet, and Mary is flying as PIC with my 27-year old nephew in the right
seat.

I'm in the back seat with my brother-in-law, and we've just reclined our
seats to a more comfortable F-16 attitude (so I'm not whacking my
Lightspeeds on the ceiling).

The full-stretch legroom, the steady rumble of Atlas' 6 cylinders, the
gentle rocking motion caused by my nephew over-controlling the airplane, the
warm sunshine, full tummy, dry pants....

.....Zzzzzzz....

Next thing I know, we're entering the pattern at Iowa City. Almost an hour
has gone by, and I've enjoyed a deep, happy nap -- in the back seat of my
own plane. First time in over 1500 hours of flying -- who'd a thunk it?

Never thought I'd see the day. Mary laughed and said "So I guess this means
you're finally comfortable with my flying?"

Or the first time you made it an entire hour with dry pants. G

Next you'll want a new autopilot so you can do that in the left seat!!

You know you're getting old when naps excite you as much as sex does.

I'd say naps have taken the lead. Never heard him talk about sex in Atlas
have you? :-)

It's not that we haven't talked about it. However, after serious
consideration of all the mechanics required, we decided that a Cherokee 6
would be the minimum required aircraft for the deed.

On the bright side, we could then use it for "Mile High" stays at the inn!

Sounds like you just came up with a marketing opportunity. It has been done
before on the west coast but I doubt it has been done in Iowa.

The difference being in California, you can fly out over the ocean where
no law enforcement agency has jurisdiction. Over the Great Plains, you
run into problems with crossing state lines, multiple jurisdictions, etc.

My membership initiation was in a C152. Orally speaking only, of
course. I should have kept that one...

Man, your significant other -- even using, er, alternate means -- musta been
a contortionist!
