THe implication was that anybody that stays in the Blackbird Suite has to
wear a space suit while staying in that suite. That would make certain
maneuvers ... interesting to work out.


With IOW under 700' MSL, it won't get you in the mile high club anways...

I taught a very small part of stew school for the airlines. I remember
during coffee break somebody explaining the mile high club to this newhire
trainee ... and she asked how high the XYZ motel was in Idyllwild.

It looks like she was a ground crew member of the Mile High Club:

Elevation:
Idyllwild is about 5,300 feet above sea level. Nearby communities
range from 5,300 feet to 6,500 feet.

You should have sent her he

Um, this was back in the '60s, when such things weren't widely advertised.
Besides, I was a 20 year old college junior with a brand new fiancee and
didn't want to rock the boat...

Besides, she wasn't all that hot...

The "Mile-High" Club is probably one of those more difficult clubs for
GA pilots to get into given the space available in most GA a/c... In
the 150 that I fly, I barely feel like I fit! g

I've checked this out rather extensively, and (it appears to me,
anyway) that nothing less than a Cherokee Six will do.

At least when you're in your 40s, and "flexibility" ain't your middle
name anymore...

My Cessna-206... with the 4 rear seats removed is "just the thing"...
just enough room for a quilt, pillows... and a curtain behind the
pilot so no one is distracted. :-)
