12 reasons why a Warrior(PA-28) is better than a man

The reasons why a Warrior is better than a man are because ...

...It doesn't expect you to be nice to it's mum

...or expect you to like it's sister

...Doesn't piss you off because it's checking out other warriors

...pretend that the 'fart' that it did came out louder than what it expected

...Doesn't leave toe-nail clippings on the bathroom floor

...It listens to what you say to it

...Doesn't sulk if you tell it off

...Doesn't have 'issues' if you don't polish it's ego enough

...Doesn't think that you're a threat to it's masculinity just because you
fly

...Doesn't patronise you by saying 'well it's just because you're just not
technically minded'

and finally...

...can keep going for at least 4 hours
...and always gives a fun ride

An Airplane is easy to roll over.

Up to five people can ride in the cockpit of an airplane.

Airplane's last longer.

Airplane's don't droop after many years.

You can always tell when an airplane is going to give out.

Airplanes don't care about how many other airplanes you have flown.

When flying, you and your airplane both arrive at the same time.

Airplanes don't mind if you look at other airplane's, or if you buy airplane magazines.

If your airplane is too loose, you can tighten it.

You don't have to be jealous of the guy that works on your airplane.

You don't have to deal with blood-tests to register your airplane.

If you say bad things to your airplane, you don't have to say your sorry before you can fly it again.

You can fly an airplane as long as you want and it won't get sore.

Your airplane never wants a night out alone with the other airplanes.

Airplanes don't care if you are late.

The first is exactly why they are better than men.

And if airplanes could get pregnant and have little airplanes, wouldn't that save a lot of money buying new ones?

PS bet this thread ends up in JB.

Jealousy will get you nowhere PC. A C152 beats a PA28 into a cocked hat any day - for a start it doesn't fly like a brick which needs to go on a diet should you need to land without a working engine.

Ah but in that situation you are better off trading the old one in for a newer, younger model which doesn't require all of that remedial work....

I prefer the CAP 232. Much better performance, very agile, cute, french and tight.

Knowing your luck, you'd end up with the 'Heather Mills' Cap 231 - bits of it made of wood that should ideally would be carbon-based - but still having phenomenally high maintenance costs.

Now, has anybody seen my coat? Oh - there it is......

Jealousy? That's a bit like comparing a Mk 2 Ford Cortina to a Morris Marina!

A slight digression, but I've seen someone take the 'Pepsi-challenge on the flying verses women question, with a straightforward result.

I recently took a chap (who is dating a very well-known and lovely actress) for first ever flight in a light aircraft, my Arrow III. We blasted through a low cloud layer and then tooled around for an hour or so before dropping back down through the cloud to return to the field.

Sitting in the bar afterwards, for some reason I compared the after-glow of a flight to the aftermath of sex.

"Oh no," he said without the merest trace of a smile "that's far, far better than sex."

I merely nodded silently as to say anything at that point would have been wrong - but I've never been able to look at said actress in the same way.

Well he got that right! At least the plane goes when you want it to and doesn't make up excuses as to why it can't fly
