Nice Guys in Aviation

Excellent idea.

My battery is getting low and I ended up without enough juice to turn it
over after fueling at Reid-Hillview in San Jose, CA a couple of weeks
ago. I wandered around until I found some mechanics in the NICE AIR
hangar. One of them stopped what he was doing and brought a cart
probably 300 yards across the field to the self-serve pump and gave me a
jumpstart, and would not accept payment or a tip.

I tell whoever I know is going to be in San Jose. All they got from me
is fuel profits (they also run the fuel tank).

(This is in contrast to an FBO at another small Bay Area airport who
charged me $40 for the same service.)

Give an example when someone went above and beyond for you.
