Ginger or MaryAnn? Ariel or Amelia?

[murphey]

In keeping with the age-old debate of Ginger or MaryAnn let's make this the aviation equivalent.

Ariel or Amelia Rose?

Let's try to keep it aviation-specific as much as possible? Avoid the tedious and overused "well, I wouldn't kick her out of bed" context.

Amelia Rose is the reporter who is distantly related to the "original" Amelia Earhart, right? I've heard her on a podcast, but don't have enough exposure to her to form an opinion. Do yo have a link?

 

[mikea]

At this point I'd take Sarah She can fly.

Okay, she's an air force brat and can fly. Me, I'll stick with my air force brat who can fly!

She's flying/taking lessons with Independence Aviation out of Centennial (KAPA). Here's the page that will take you to the other links.

I vote for Summer Williams.

She's a Texans Cheerleader, an Aerospace Engineer, and a certificated pilot.

[Geico266]

Hands down.... MaryAnn.

 

[denverpilot]

None of the above. They're all broke or broke pilots.

 

[TMetzinger]

I vote for Kimberly. She's better looking and from all accounts nicer. Ariel is ok but I think I'd have an urge to strangle her after an hour or two.

Ariel Tweto from Flying Wild Alaska

Oh, well, I've never seen that show. Thanks

 

[murphey]

What? You don't know about the historical & fabled "discussion" to choose your preference between Ginger & MaryAnn?

tsk tsk tsk

As for Ariel & Amelia - come on now, what has taken almost 500 comments here about Flying Wild Alaska? And a growing number of comments about aviatrix's namesake living in Colorado?

more tsk tsk tsk

 

[DavidWhite]

But the one Spike found is way more hot than both of them - combined.

Oh... my... god.

Winner. That's it. No more discussion.

(goes to sulk in the corner knowing someone else is going to be very, very fortunate).

 

[flyingcheesehead]

Hmmm.

Amelia.
Summer.
Sarah.
Ariel.

Hmmm.

I think I'd have to answer, "Yes."

[TripleZ]

Agreed.

Ariel Tweeto

Or

Summer Williams

or

Sarah

or

Amelia Rose Earhart
(and don't just do a image search for Amelia Rose..........)

Hands down Svetlana. She is one hell of a pilot also.

To quote Wayne and Garth...... SCHWING!!!!

 

[SCCutler]

The best part is, she's really, really smart. Which just amplifies the pretty part by a factor of ten.

Have you guys ever heard the phrase, "Out of your league?"

Better yet, the famous graph drawn by the Barney character on "How I Met Your Mother"?

X-Axis "Hot"
Y-Axis "Crazy"

Draw a line diagonal from 0.0 coordinate to the top right corner.

 

[Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe]

Hands down Svetlana. She is one hell of a pilot also.

 

[TMetzinger]

Svetlana has my vote, partially because she's old enough to get my jokes.

 

[MBDiagMan]

If I were single, my choice would be Arial.

 

[Gerhardt]

If I were single, my choice would be Arial.

If I were a single my choice would be Summer.

If I were a twin my choice would be Arial and Summer.

If I were a helicopter, with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, ...

 

[mikea]

Agreed.

Ariel Tweeto

...

Guys, Ariel is like 5 foot nothing and 110 pounds, and we know in spite of her bubbly personality there's not much else up there.

Diff'rnt Strokes, I guess.

 

[Jeanie]

I like the way Peter B. Swings his head back and forth when he banks. I want to be svetlana when I grow up....... She always looks so calm and collected when she flies acro. Almost blasé.

Actually, I don't know that "there's not much up there." She's rather young yet is still working on this gig- she's supposed to be one of the driving forces behind this show

However, under that ditsy exterior is a very driven, smart, and ambitious young woman, who is the driving force behind the show. She is not only one of the “stars” on the reality show, but is also an associate producer.

What you see on TV is not what the real person is like.

What you read in the press isn't either.

Who else met her at OSH? I'm curious to see what opinions arose.

I'm guessing the basic facts in this case probably are. The source is AOPA, not USA Today.

Hey, I've got an "in" with Summer. I graduated from the same high school.



Okay, okay, so it was 20 years before she did...

 

[murphey]

You know you're getting old when....

I was at a meeting last night and this came up as a side discussion. Half the guys there didn't understand "Ginger or MaryAnn".

*sigh*

It ain't "old" Murph;

It's "Historically Informed".

On the good side of the ledger we know what these young punks missed...

[Everskyward]

On the flip side of the coin I would never have heard of Ariel or Summer if I didn't read POA.
