I don't know about you folks, but all of my regular GA haunts are
frequented by a pretty decent number of "spectators" outside the
fences who enjoy watching airplanes, even if they don't fly. Wanna'
get a nice feeling? Watch the reaction of little kids when you wave
or salute them as you taxi by. That kid might be a future astronaut
because of your silly wave.

Yep, that's one of the truly fun parts of flying. We don't get too many
"fence wavers" in Iowa City, because of the way the parking lots are so far
from the runways and hangars -- but when we DO see them, we always make a
point to wave.

What I REALLY want to do is shut down, climb out, and see if they want to go
for a ride. I've never had the guts to do that -- have you?
