Hows does that work with the girlies?
You know how it is..... two pilots discussing their feats of derring do.... with some more or less interested piece of totty looking on, in awe of the sky-gods discussing their courage and heroism?

Either way, the one who can claim the lower hours to solo will usually pull the girl but she'll end up disappointed because my experience in life is that anybody who needs to overstate themselves, be it with acheivements (as in "I soloed after only 17 seconds instruction, blindfolded with an arm and a leg tied behind my back") or with their choice of motor vehicle (as in "look at my Porsche 911 GT3 Carrera RS - it has a racing cage in it to give the car rigidity to allow me to reach higher speeds on track days) is usually overcompensating for something else he's missing....

... Now where did I leave the keys to my Citroen 2CV......
