Default The E Word

Larry,
I am looking for someone who is not on a power trip, out to prove
something. I.e. Full of them self. Interested in airplanes or flying.
Light drinker to non-drinker, non-smoker.
Beyond that I am pretty flexible.
I like to stay busy, Outside mostly. Kayaking (touring), I weld, Work on
my own airplane, not cars unless necessary. I have been know to build
houses (Habitat for Humanity), Donate my time to other charitable
causes, and make sawdust in the basement. I spent today cleaning and
staining the deck.

That is a good start.....

Michelle

What qualities and qualifications must the "right one" possess for
your to perceive him as being right?

Stubby,
Thank You,
If I am every man's dream how come i cannot find the right one? I seem to
scare a lot off because I am more competent than they in a lot of areas.
Modest aren't I?
Michelle


Good job.

I have a friend who asks the same question as you. She is young(ish),
hardbody, has her own aircraft (four place retract?) which she earned by
operating her own mountain sports equipment store. She has nice dogs, is
intelligent and nice to talk with and would certainly have my undivided
attention if I did not have a similar partner of over thirty years.

Happy landings,

It's been my experience that women have a much tougher time "dating
down" than men do. Women strongly prefer men who are more
powerful/successful than they are and when you get a lady like your
friend the pool gets really small. Meanwhile the men in that pool have
no problem marrying their secretaries so the odds are doubly bad.

Was it Andrews AFB where you landed?

Nope. Davison Army Airfield is on the grounds of Fort Belvoir, about six miles
south of the I-95/Beltway intersection.

I drive through the mixing bowl every day...the prospect of making an
off-airport landing in that area is daunting.

yours,
Michael

I love a happy ending.

When you told the tower you were "Coming In" how did they know you had
trouble?

We do not land at Davison AAF normally. We use their airspace all the
time. I may have told them we had a problem before they asked. That is
one of the reasons I want a copy of the Recording. 5 minutes seemed to
last forever.

Well done, Michelle. I only hope I am able to be as perspicacious in
managing the situation when my turn comes.

Michelle,
Well done. I wish that I could be as calm and competent as you were
in handling emergency situations. Glad to hear of the good outcome.

I am not how I would have handled this say 1500 or so hours ago.
Experience has built my confidence. I am a lot more comfortable on the
flight deck and abnormal things do not upset me as much as they used too.

Ok the poster did not do what I expected it to do. I select and replied
to individual messages but it grouped them all together.
