    Zsa Zsa Gabor was apparently married nine times. She was divorced seven times, and one marriage was annulled. She was also born and lived in a time when women's rights weren't "a thing" and the role of a woman was mostly to be a great secretary or a homemaker. I wouldn't necessarily take her as...

    What movie is this? And why is there a naked woman on the plane and a nun choking a man? :smilewinkgrin:

    :) A bad marriage doesn't necessarily mean a man's financial loss. What if the woman was wealthier?

    Exactly what I was thinking. BUILDING a plane requires a real passion (or a good paycheck) :) I'm leaning towards this at the moment, but I really need it to fly 2 people. Another user suggested the EAA too, I'm checking them out and doing some more research on home-built planes. Never heard of...

    HAHAH this made me reconsider the outline!! Without revealing too much, the mission is quite simple. My man has a mediocre marriage but an awesome relationship with his daughter (pre-teen). He loves to spend time "in the air", it's the only place where he feels at peace. He takes his kid on...

    Two things. "Twinkie" is for sure something that would sound great, I'll look up the plane. Second - the doggo in your pic looks almost too comfy - that's life :sleep: :)

    YES :) A big-ish inheritance. That's the beauty of fiction. Citabria & Grumman Tiger look interesting. Would these planes fly from Santa Barbara to SF?

    That was my question - if it is common for pilots to casually fly an aircraft they never flew before?

    Nope, not a pilot (yet). HA it's something I'm intrigued by but unfortunately no clue here. Headwinds/tail winds don't tell me much :( What I'm mostly after is a plane to fly out of Santa Barbara to SF.

    Very good advice. I am currently in the UK and with little experience or options to fly out to Cali atm. But might reach out to some of the local airports anyways - THANKS :)

    Hahaha. Well, I can tell you as much that my character won't have time to kill before a flight by taking a jog to Martha's Vineyard (or anywhere else for that matter - Disneyland? LOL). He will fly with his daughter on "adventure flights" and alienate his wife by ding so.. eek. I'm probably...

    Twi Hi Kristin, so my character is a commercial pilot on an airline - I plan to use one that was operating at that time (probably AA). I'm not looking to be a hundred percent accurate historically - it is a work of fiction after all. What I'm after here is a plane this guy is flying in his...

    Wow. This got my creative juices flowing - is it possible to BUILD a plane that one can fly legally? I don't need no details (right now), but is it possible?
