A charming young lady at the office has just started flying. So far, so good.
Now, she want's to buy some equipment - e.g. a headset.
The first question she asked is "can I get pink ones?"
It can't be true. Please, please please, Oh Lord NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Nice headset!! Don't worry about the women wearing them, it's if you start to see a bloke wearing them. Sorry, not very politically correct!!!

I would start to worry when she asks for a pink steering wheel cover or a makeup mirror, just like the ones in her car.

Is that the Commodore of the Beagle Pup club in an even more concerning red flying suit? :uhoh:

Using that thread to suggest something isn't unusual suggests you don't know what "unusual" means. ;)

The dear Pinkster is alive and well and you will be able to see her on BBC-TV later this year.....
She also presents on a Jockistani commercial radio station.....the locals call her "The wee girl on the radio"!

Im sure Mad Jock should knowI'm not so sure that he would as he has been flying commercially for some time now and hasn't been instructing.

The Pink Aviator has had a busy summer - including some flying.
She has been working as well - expect to see her on TV in the New Year.
Oh - and she says hello to all the real people on PPRuNe who were her friends - not the amateur trickcyclists who though she was some mad bunny-boiler!
Looking at Rallye Driver's picture, I have to ask if the pinkster ever needed to wear a hi-vis vest while airside...!

Well, I asked my instructor if I could have a pink headset and he told me to get out of the plane.
I think he knew I was joking.... I think....

I don't know who the lady in Rallye Driver's picture is, but I'm certain that it isn't the Pink Aviator (aka The Pinkster). The only time I ever saw her in a flying suit it was the normal olive drag colour.

The lady in pink is Dawn-Marie Taylor, the lady in the pearls is Amanda Harrison and the lady in the olive flying suit is Suzy Boot
In the Schneider Trophy this year Dawn finished 36th, Amanda 26th and the Boots 5th in their SF260W. 46 racers in all.

I remember the infamous pink headsets thread - no problem with it myself, no one had to read it who didn't want to and even 133 pages of thread are only a few meg of disk space!
What's this about the pinkster on TV though? Is it going to be a fly-on-the-wall thing like that mad couple The Armstrongs? Could be fun!
