Airline Pilot for a day?

Listen Dudley, I posted, I thought, a very civil question. I think it
would
be way cool to get to fly the heavy stuff, even for a person such as
yourself, with lots of experience in other types. *Big Snip*

Look, guys, I know both of you (Jim "in person"; Dudley "on the phone") and
I can vouch for the fact that both of you would hit it off immediately
"in-person."

Therefore, I hereby invite you both to attend our barbecue cookout party at
OSH '05, held on Wednesday after the airshow at our campsite in the "North
40". This will be our third annual, and each one has grown a bit more from
the previous years. (See for pix.)

Jim will be there with "GOG" (God's Own Grill), helping with the cooking
duties -- and I sure hope you can make it, Dudley!

(And don't give us any of that "I can't make it" stuff. I *know* you've got
friends all over with whom you could hitch a ride...and, if not, I'll bet
you ten bucks we could find someone here flying to OSH with an empty seat!

Thank you Jay, for taking the time to post such a positive message, and I'm
fairly certain you are probably right about Jim and I getting along with
Usenet out of the equation.
I certainly wish you and everyone else on the newsgroup the very best of
luck at Oshkosh and I know all of you will enjoy your fellowship there.
I'm sorry that I won't be able to join in.
Best as always,
Dudley

What -- and miss the opportunity to rub shoulders with Bob Hoover, Chuck
Yeager, and the equally bright and witty Usenet gang?

:-)

Alright, who's going to step up to the plate here? Who's got an open seat
for Dudley?

I'm guessing 30(?) this year ...especially if the weather is PERFECT like
last year.

BTW, what *is* our fallback plan (a.k.a. rain)?

1. Friar Tucks? Table for 30 please.

2. That (delicious!) pizza place with the stained glass airplane art? Forgot
the name. Owner seemed like a good guy. Table for 30 please.

3. Drink cold beer in the rain?

I have a retired parachute. I think that a few poles could turn it into the
perfect fly-in rain fly! g
