It was actually my girlfriend's idea to do a sitcom. So any royalties will have to be shared with her
One problem is that a lot of the "in jokes" won't be understood by non-pilots. OK, everybody will get the one about the PA28 fuel valve being in the perfect place when the student is a woman in a short skirt, or the one about the flap lever.... and people do get to know each other rather well in a C150, like it or not.
But so much of the rest is quite specific, I think.
For example we might laugh when the instructor says (in front of a bunch of people waiting for a pleasure flight... OOPS I meant to say a "trial lesson" because a pleasure flight needs an AOC) that one plane has "gone tech" (a wonderful term for one bit too many having fallen off so not even the friendly JAR145 outfit next door will sign it off) so we have to use another one. But most punters wouldn't get it.
Same with the plane spotters, laboriously recording tail numbers
and (if they can get close enough) airframe serial numbers, then going home and recording the stuff on some website...
Maintenance is not a problem; just means I can't move up
