Default Dear Ann Landers ...

I'm a Pilot. I've met a woman that I'm very interested in. She has a
great personality and we have many common interests. I believe that
we could have a great future together. We seem compatible in every
way but one. I've been a Cessna pilot for many years. But she flies
a Piper low-wing. Is there any chance that our relationship will
work?

Dear John,

The logical solution is obviously to compromise: fly both a high
and a low wing plane at the same time. A bi-plane! A Neuport 11
replica would not appear to be a wise choice but a nice Waco or
Stearman should fill the bill (in more ways than one!)

Cheers,
Sydney

And a Staggerwing will make her very dear to you. If your relationship
becomes very productive, an Antonov 2 is an obvious choice...

I was thinking about that. Yes, an Antonov AN-2, the very thing.

The ground handling might be a tad difficult for the Lady of the House,
admittedly, but it's probably easier to drive a tug than to master that
'run in place on the mainwheels' thing the local Stearman pilots practice.

Cheers,
Sydney

If I had a Staggerwing, Why would I still want a girlfriend?

To pay your maintenance expenses?

Just a thought,

Or maybe an Extra 300 with a mid-wing?

A Stearman, what a great idea! Of course there are some disadvantages
to tandem seating. (G)

Manwhile we've decided to see if she can convert. We'll schedule a
meeting with Pastor Bernoulli.
