Line Up and Wait
Hi ya'll. I'm at the cessna factory in Independence, KS awaiting delivery of a new 172g1000 that I've been hired to ferry back to Boston. The folks here are very nice...they treat you like royalty, even if you are just a lowly ferry pilot. Free coffee, lunch, snacks, pilot lounge, internet, and they give me a freaking brand new plane at the end of the day. HAHA!
I should be outta here around 5pmish, and I'm going to fly to Illinois this evening, where I'll get a motel room for a few hours of sleep, then tomorrow, up early, off to Franklin, PA to refuel, then home. The wx is supposed to stay VFR the whole way, which is a relief (although I'm going to file IFR anyway, just because I'm a knucklhead, and want the nice ATC people to keep an eye on me).
Anway, this will be the longest X/C flight I've done do date, and I'm excited that I get to do it in a nice new plane, on days where the weather is nice. All I need now is some foxy farmer's daughter that needs a ride to Boston to show up, and this will be a perfect day. My pick up line will be,
" Hey baby, I'm a ferry pilot"
and she'll say, "you're a fairy pilot?"
haha
