Touchdown! Greaser!
Today I flew to St. Paul with some friends and hung out there for awhile. When we landed again at RST a guy comes up and asks some odd questions. Like what kind of plane is that, Is that one of those Pipers? A passenger of mine told him it was a cessna I was busy messing with the door to really pay attention to what was being said. I then heard him ask what kind of Cessna and my friend said it was a 172. He then just says oh one of those piper 72s huh and acted all excited about flying in one.
I then go inside and pay the bill and he walks up and asks if I'd take him flying sometime and writes his phone number down on a piece of paper, quite frankly I was now a bit suspicious about this being some type of setup to see if I'd let him pay or something. He was still acting like he knew absolutely nothing about flying or planes. So I just said Okay, Wasn't really sure if I'd call him or not. He walks away and I ask the girl running the counter who it is. She said it was the pilot of a learjet. I then realized that he was basically just screwing with me.
So he comes back and says if I take him flying in the 172 on thursday I can come and fly in the learjet with him. Not really sure where we'd be going and I'd end up in the cities but I'll figure out a ride home, and miss a day of work for that kind of oppurtunity.
Just one of those times where it shows that it's good to be nice to everyone even if they sound a bit odd at first.
