Thank all of you for your suggestions and stories. I settled on proposing
the Bob Korves-related tale of the contest pilot who landed out above the clouds because it would give me the opportunity to show 15 minutes of kick-ass aerials at the beginning before people changed to the ALL NASCAR CHANNEL or Bass Fishing. They liked better the idea of a go-for-broke expedition launched from the outskirts of my favorite quaint village...Los Angeles (cheap for them to produce) and a flight into the Great Basin of America...get this...WITHOUT A MOTOR! Yes. That's right. No motor. And as a further complication, I thought it could go out of Crystal. Go figure! A flight out of Crystal into the void without a motor. A first...for the rest of the planet anyway. Of course, their note ended with "Don't call us. We'll call you." But I take that as a positive sign. Usually they say they will get a restraining order. At least this time, I didn't have to be escorted from the lot by their goons. If they say yes and you have a two-seat motorglider, hide from me. If there is one word that describes me it is tenacious and persistent. Thanks again. 05 |
