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. :
