Whilst flying the circuit in a PA28, my student was gaining rapidly on the asthmatic C150 infront of us. So much so that by the fourth time around the block we were almost sat with the C150 occupants as we turned crosswind.

"Whaddo-I-do now?" was the anguished cry from the left seat as we bumped around in the prop wash.

So I told the stude just to politley ask if we could pass them, reminding him of the rules of the air for over-taking.

The stude hesitates, then presses the brain-disconnect switch...

"G-.... this is G-.... can I come inside you?

Good job he was a capable bloke, I was usless for the remainder of the session and thought at one point I was going to have a stroke from laughing so hard.
