An aging pilot

The problem is that there is literally know one at the airport, a lot of
Saturdays. I'm often the only person with his hangar door open.

Yeah, that's true at a lot of airports. It's often true here in Iowa City,
too -- but we've hooked up with some other "hard core" aviation nuts on our
field, so we can usually count on hanging out with each other.

And then, of course, there are those occasions when -- for no apparent
reason -- EVERYONE comes to the airport. It's usually a nice day, of
course, but not always the nicest. Something just seems to be triggered
inside every pilots brain, that sends them to the airport like lemmings to
the sea.

And somehow, some way, after the flying is done, they end up drinking beer
in our hangar!

Sometimes all you've got to do is lay out the bait. Sooner or later, you'll
catch them.
