This week on POA "VFR Lunch"
This episode finds us at the big hanger again but today's weather is beautiful. The hanger doors are open and we fade in on Denver Pilot standing next to Matthew just inside the hanger door looking out at the pattern.
Matthew: What's he doing?
DenverPilot: It's Stinkbug.
DenverPilot: He has Dallas up there with him.
DenverPilot: He just grabbed him a few minutes ago.
DenverPilot: I heard him say "come with me and I will show you it can be done safely."
Matthew: Mile High Club?
DenverPilot: I wouldn't rule that out but I think he is going to slip with flaps in the 172.
Matthew: That's too bad. I really liked those guys.
eman1200: Hey guys what's up?
Matthew: Stinkbug is going to slip with flaps. He's turning base now.
eman1200: Oh the humanity!
eman1200: Shouldn't be an issue as long as the flaps aren't deployed while banking right?
Matthew: That's an urban legend from back in biblical times where they use... [Alphadog interrupts]
alphadog Hey guys what are you watching?
DenverPilot: A plane crash. They are going to slip with flaps.
alphadog: Is that them turning final?
eman1200: yup
alphadog: So... What is it exactly that makes a plane turn anyway?
DenverPilot: NO! ...NO NO NO NO!
Matthew: Hey look at that. they are slipping
Matthew: Looks like full flaps to me.
eman1200: Yup. Non event.
Matthew: hmmm. I'd have put my money on a fiery death..
[A few minutes later Stinkbug and Dallas exit the plane walking toward the hanger discussing the flight and merging with the growing group of POA at the hanger door.]
Stinkbug: See, no big deal. Just have to take it easy and don't make any sudden movements.
Sac Arrow: Mile high club?
Matthew: Nope. Pattern Altitude club.
Sac Arrow: Ewe. With flaps!?!?
Sac Arrow: You guys are lucky to be alive.
Dallas: What's BobMrg doing over there?
Anthony: He is helping unregistered
Dallas: What did unregistered do?
Anthony: He busted Bravo. Flew right through without being cleared in.
unregistered: Yep, I wonder if I will lose my License.
Ron Levy: If I may, Actually it isn't a license per se. More of a certificate.
unregistered: I am a low hour PPL and I thought I was clear. but I ended up flying for about 5 minutes through the 3k shelf.
unregistered: But yeah, as soon as I realized, I got down. We don't have a lot of class B where I trained so this was a bit new.
Anthony: Probably nothing will come of it. That's not to say it wasn't stupid and you need to pay more attention but as backed up and unorganized as the FAA is, I doubt you will hear anything.
Anthony: On the other hand, they could take your cert away. It's really a crap-shoot.
LDJones: Hey Guys. I just got a call from Ben he is flying up to the grass strip to grab lunch
6PC: Anyone ever notice how that strip looks a bit like a penis?
collective mumbling: No, never noticed that, what's with all the penis references anyway?
6PC: Yeah, me neither. That'd be weird
LDJones: Anyway, I am going to join them. I can carry 2 more
Anthony: I will go. I can carry 3. Or 2 depending on which combination of you come with me.
Anthony: Really as long as I don't have to fly TimWinters, I am in.
Ghery: What's wrong with TimWinters?
Anthony: Sometimes he can be a little timid in the cockpit. He gets a little nervous and it can be distracting.
Ghery: Ok then, TimWinters can ride with me.
[A mixture of POA organizes and heads out to their favorite Grass strip at KOCK (which looks nothing like a penis.)]
[We join Tim and Ghery en route]
Tim: Is that the garmin 430?
Ghery: Sure is, finest piece of navigation equipment ever made.
Ghery: Want to see how it works?
[POP!]
Tim: What was that noise?
Tim: I heard a popping sound to my right just now.
Ghery: I didn't hear it
[POP!]
Tim: there it goes again, it sounds like it is coming from this window.
[suddenly the passenger window of Ghery's plane cracks and detaches completely falling to the ground]
Tim: AAAAGGGGGGG WERE GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!
Ghery: Wait. What?
Tim: WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!!
Tim: WE'RE GONNA GET SUCKED OUT!!!
Ghery: What the hell are you talking about?
Tim: OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!!
Tim: AS I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY!!
Ghery: Dude...
Tim: I AM GETTING SUCKED OUT!!!!
Ghery: Tim, this isn't an episode of "Airplane Repo".
Ghery: You can't get sucked out.
Ghery: plus we are doing like 90.
Tim: OHH GOD OH GOD WE ARE LOSING AIR PRESSURE!!!!
Ghery: Tim! This plane isn't even pressurized. What on earth?
Ghery: You are a pilot right?
Tim: THERE'S NOT ENOUGH OXYGEN!!! I CAN'T BREATHE!!!!
Tim: I CAN'T BREATHE.
Tim: OH JESUS! I THINK I AM HYPOXIC!!!
Tim: GHERY!?!
Ghery: Yes Tim?
Tim: GHERY, I LOVE YOU!
Ghery: That's... really not necessary
Tim: NO MAN. I'M SERIOUS! I LOVE YOU MAN!
Ghery: Tim, you just need to calm down.
Tim: SAY IT!
Ghery: What?
Tim: SAY IT!
Ghery: What? No, I am not.. Look we are just fine
Tim: Oh My God!!! SAY IT GHERY!
Tim: TELL ME YOU LOVE ME.
Tim: TELL ME YOU LOVE ME GHERY!!!!!
Ghery: Look Tim, you are a great guy and I like you but you may be overreacting a little.
Tim: I HAVE NO AIR, MY FINGERS ARE NUMB!!!
Tim: I FEEL TINGLING ALL OVER. OH GOD WE'RE SO HIGH!!!!
Ghery: Dude we are at 2000 feet.
Tim: WE'RE FALLING???????!?!?!
Tim: GET THE OXYGEN MASKS!!!
Tim: SECURE MINE AROUND MY FACE FIRST GHERY THEN PUT YOURS ON!!!!
Ghery: Tim, you shouldn't end sentences with a preposition.
Ghery: Also, what the hell is wrong with you?
Tim: OH MY GOD! WE ARE GOING DOWN!!!! HERE IT COMES
Ghery: Here comes what?
Tim: THE GROUND IS RUSHING UP AT US!!
Tim: AHHHHHHHH WE ARE GOING TO CRASH INTO THAT GIANT GRASS D!CK!!!!
Ghery: Tim, we are landing, We are on final. Sterile cockpit please.
Tim: OH JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESUS!!!!!!!!
[The wheels of Ghery's Cessna touch the soft peni.., er grass and the plane rolls to a crawl for a picture perfect grass landing]
[Very silent and awkward taxi to parking. Ghery shuts down the plane and sits in stunned silence]
Tim: So,that 430 is nice. I may look into one of those for my bird.
Ghery: ........
Ghery: Um.... Hey Tim, What was all that commotion about?
Tim: Oh you heard that? I told you there was a popping noise.
Tim: Glad you finally heard it.
Ghery: Are you really sure you should be flying?
Tim: Oh Ghery, look your right passenger window is completely gone.
Tim: Was it like that when we took off?
Tim: You should probably get that looked at
Ghery: Tim...
Tim: What?
Ghery: Never mind. Let's just get some food.
Tim: Great Idea. I'm starving!
[Ghery and Tim join a large group of POA'ers already waiting at the table]
JOhnH: Hey guys, how was the flight?
Ghery: Well it was...[Tim interrupts]
Tim: So smooth. It was a great flight. Ghery showed me his 430
Tim: Just an awesome flight. I think I actually slept through a good portion of it.
Ghery: Yeah, it was great I guess.
Ben: Tim, You are dripping with sweat, Next time, open your window. You know you can do that in the Ghery' bird. Makes for a much cooler experience.
Ben: I can fly mine with the windows open. You should fly back with me
Ghery: YES!!!! Do That! Do exactly what you just said!!!!!
Tim: Ghery, you don't mind?
Ghery: ha! Twist my arm. Okay go with him. I need some solo hours anyway.
EppyGA: Hey did you guys hear about that Ebola?
EppyGA: Its spreading. Some messed up siht.
DocMirror: I was reading about it in a science journal and they were showing what the virus looks like under a microscope.
EppyGA: I saw some of those photos. It looks downright creepy.
6PC: It kinda looks like a penis.
EppyGA: What's wrong with you?
6PC: I.. Uh... Dont... So I saw outbreak. That does look pretty rough. I hope I don't get it.
6PC: because of all the bleeding and dying.
6PC: Also I don't like monkeys.
[POA members eat, swap stories, argue and head back to their respective planes]
Ben : Well guys, that was fun, I need to head back.
Ben : We should do this again sometime soon.
[Everyone babbles in agreement.]
Tim: I am flying with you right Ben?
Ben : Yup, come on!
[Ben and Tim are the first to the run up area. A handful of POA is still chatting on the taxiway hanging back to watch the planes leave and snap some photos to share]
Ben and Tim start their take off roll, windows open, gathering speed, as they go down the runway.
Right at rotation a feint screaming sound can be heard coming from the plane
JOhnH: What's that noise coming from his plane?
EppyGA: It sounds like a little girl screaming.
DocMirror: I have never heard a plane make that sound before.
Ghery (mumbling): I have.
[We Join LDJones and DocMirror who have decided to fly together for the trip back]
DocMirror: That was a good lunch. I love coming here
LDJones: Yup good stuff
[radio interrupts]
EppyGA: KOCK traffic bugsmasher six one niner, taking Zero Seven. Southeast departure.
DocMirror getting on the radio: Hey guys once you are up, take a look at the waterway off to the north. It is unbelievable
6PC (on the radio): Is it shaped like a penis?
DocMirror: No, its low. Unbelievably low. You need to get checked out son.
6PC (on the radio): I think I got stepped on. I was asking if it is low or something. I don't know what that other guy was saying.
The group heads back like a trail of ants with full bellies toward the field with the big hanger ending another successful $100 hamburger run for the group.
Back at the field, the group ties down their planes and enters the hanger which is empty except for one person.
Corpsmaide: Where did you guys go?
Captain: Ew... hmmm about that...
Captain: You got the evite right? I am sure I saw your name on the list.
Captain: Six, did you send it?
6PC: I started it but I forwarded it to AggieMike to finish and send.
AggieMike: I added Tim and a couple others and gave it to Matt.
Matthew: I told EdFred to add the names and give it back to me and I would send it.
Corpsmaide: No its cool guys I was so busy anyway watching the hanger and stuff
Ghery: Don't worry, we will do it again. We will make sure you are the first name on the list.
Ghery: And next time, do you mind flying Tim? Next time I am planning on riding with Captain.
Corpsmaide: Heck yes, that would be awesome. I love flying w/ pax.
Corpsmaide: Tim, I will pick you up early next hamburger run. I want to show you my new Garmin.
Thus ends the second episode of POA
Tune in next time and see the drama erupt as a spirited High wing versus low wing debate turns in to an all out brawl. POA becomes divided, alliances are formed. More confrontation and backstabbing than you can handle on an all new episode of POA.
