We're getting old, folks...

I think the basic flaw with your logic is that you're treating my wife
like a "normal" spouse. [...] She is a certificated pilot,
with over 500 hours...

Certificated pilots hang it up too. There was a thread here about that
not too long ago.

Another girl at some hangar"? I'd like to see that hangar, someday!

Wouldn't we all!

But I believe it's safe to say that everyone on
this newsgroup is "into" aviation on a level that far surpasses the
"normal" pilot -- otherwise, why are we here?

Some like to fly, some like to talk?

Given this level of dedication and enthusiasm to aviation, I'm still
surprised at the number of guys here who say that their spouses won't
fly with them. It's just sad.

Yes, it is sad. But that wasn't your point. Your point was, and I quote:

What *is* it with you guys, all hanging around
with gals who don't like to fly? [...]
It's a damned serious question, really

We hang around with gals who don't like to fly because these gals have
so much other stuff going for them that it's worth flying less, or even
not at all, to be with them.
