Airplane detailing?

Too bad it's so far away from the ocean...

We're only 80 minutes from an inland ocean, Lake Michigan!

Wouldn't you as a parent be liable? And is the smiley justified in the
legal
climate your son operates in, i.e. the US? Imagine a pilot crashes
because
your son allegedly introduced water into the pitot-static-system...

Well, I suppose. But he's a pretty level headed kid, has been around
planes since birth, and never, EVER uses water to clean planes.

And, you know, if I was the type to worry about liability, I sure wouldn't
be in the business I'm in -- nor would I just toss the keys to my 6,000
pound Ford Van to any pilot who flies in.

You see, Tom, there are still parts of America where people trust each
other to do the right thing. That's why I choose to live in Iowa.

Bless you.

Tell me your field and I'll fly in to have your son wash my plane.

If we don't allow our youth a chance at aviation, who will? (seperate
subject.......)

How do you wash a plane without water?

I'm jealous.

Iowa City, IA (KIOW)!

Exactly. Fear of litigation threatens to neuter us as a people.

Glad to hear that you have your son working at this age. I had two
paper routes when I was twelve and washed dishes at Waffle King when I
was forteen. I think its never too early to teach responsibility.
Good to hear that there are still places that people will trust
strangers to use their vehicles.

How do you wash a plane without water?

"Better living through modern chemistry."

Too Funny! I thought my dad invented that phrase (for real!).

I knew it was some chemical mix, but does that actually "wash" the
plane? Maybe I'm being picky about the word but what chemicals can do
just seems a bit different to me.

Both of my kids work, and have since they could understand the concept. My
son is the pool boy at the hotel, cleans the parking lots, mows the lawn at
home, has many other chores, and is in honors classes. My daughter, three
years younger, is the "gardener" at the hotel, has chores, and is also in
honors classes.

They both also have to save 50% of everything they earn -- and they earn a
TON of money, for kids their age. It's astounding what they accomplish
compared with their peers -- most of whom have everything handed to them.

Lemon Pledge, various spray cleaners, and lots of cotton diapers.

I think you should be turned in for child abuse! How can you ever
expect your children to survive in our welfare society with this sort of
preparation? :-)
