aw, come on. How does a 14 year old without any flying experience manage
to start an airplane, much less know how to control the throttle?


The ignition switch works just like a car, which he's seen used thousands of
times. The throttle on a 152 is exactly like that on a farm tractor and is
clearly labeled. I'd bet he's either been given rides in aircraft or driven a
tractor.

Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry,
and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.
