SAM, it has to begin as a love affair ,as all teenagers have about the `older woman` dreams...you may remember,blonde,high heels,seamed stockings,suspenders,waspish waist,etc......you have to know all about her,how she smells..of hot oil( be nice if you can find one that uses Castrol R..),leather,wood,petrol,fabric,taut skin...Then you have to learn to start her,and let her warm to your ministrations..When she`s ready ,you can now take her out,and if it`s windy,you must learn to direct her properly,in gentlemanly fashion,using ailerons ,elevator and rudder,even without using the`brakes`,as she might trip,and fall,all the time looking around for obstacles,enjoying the envious glances of Cessna and other tricycle drivers.....
You must persevere in this(and any other)affair,for it will bring forth offers later of being able to `handle` such as the Chipmunk,T6,maybe a Spitfire,or a real lady ,a DC-3....
So,young man,learn well....
