Amusing: WTF IS GOING ON AT THE FBO?

So I'm sitting in the FBO classroom with the chief CFI when his cell rings
and he excuses himself. I can overhear the conversation. "Yes, we
definately have pilots available for that. No...you need somebody younger?
Okay...he's 40, but he's 5'11."

....and then... "Well, we don't have any red-headed instructors, but could
she wear a wig?" (laughs) I figured this was a running joke with an old
friend, until he said "Okay...give me your name and number and I'll call
you."

At that point I punted. Didn't even want to guess what that was about, and
wasn't going to ask.

Well, it turns out that they're filming a movie--"Saving Grace"--or
something, and needed to do a scene with a pilot who could double as the
actor(ess?) So on Saturday they're taking the 172 to Pearson in Vancouver,
WA, filming the takeoff and landing with a pilot wearing a red-haired wig.
Then they're going to tow the airplane around the taxiway with the actor
onboard to make it look like it's actually taxiing.

At least I know we're not chartering hookers to Mexico or something now. :

That's what I thought. If there were just something worthy to smuggle...

The hookers idea makes money! Taking them to Mexico defeats the purpose
though. Mexico has enough hookers. Instead, take them to the fishing lodges
up north. Take them to Jay's pool party. Let the women pay off your
airplane. Just be discreet.

"Mr. Smith, your 'niece' is here. Good luck with the fishing."
