View Full Version : Flight For One
On this day, April 1st 2004, at 0900L, I started up Cessna 456ER, flew to Ormond Beach, and flew three traffic patterns for runway 26 - by myself.
And today shall always be known as the day that I Had My First Solo Flight.

EDIT: Look at that skin. Christian Dior himself would weep at my flawless complexion.

So how long did they have to clear that 10 miles ring around DAB and OMN?

A good pilot knows how to properly trim one's aircraft so that control input from the pilot can be minimal, for straight-and-level flight (I was on the downwind leg of my pattern, so I was stabilized for straight-and-level) :)

Ok, you're allowed to take pictures while flying.

An airplane! And where there's an airplane, there's a pilot! And where there's a pilot, there's a bar! I can finally get something to drink!
*Congratulations*
Here's a happy face just for you (http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~va5n-okmt/kabegami/images/happy_face.jpg)

Let's think this one through. Lithion is male, has at least 5 inches and around 50 pounds of muscle on Triggar.
Sure Triggar owns a .380, but Lithion last I checked had a .40S&W that held more rounds. Plus it's good and heavy to smack her around with.
I'm pretty sure he wins.

Not if she kicks him the nuts first... which I don't think is above her. (again no pun intended)

Sadly, kicking someone in the balls is highly overrated. You need to be a field goal kicker to really cause the amount of immediate pain that will cause overwhelm someone enough to not give them the piece of mind to tear you limb from limb.
And before anyone goes there, I've been kicked in the balls plenty of times, I know how much it hurts, but I also know there's enough of a delay before it starts hurting, and that pain can easily be blocked out until the deed is done.

Hahaha, the funny thing that women don't understand while watching fights is, 'if the guy is losing so hard, why doesn't he just sock the other guy in the nuts?'.
I've since had it explained to me that kicking another man in the nuts, no matter how dire the situation, is so completely off-limits. Thoughts?

somebody tried to kick me once.
she didn't manage it, and found herself flat on her back and unable to breathe for a while.

Generally I would say kicking in the nuts is off-limits unless you are seriously being threatened (ie about to get raped)... that's just my thought.

I maintain that despite the pain, it's just not a worthwhile move. I was always raised to win any fight I was in by any means necessary. Unless you're boxing, there aren't rules to a fight, so hitting below the belt, throwing sand, etc is all fair. I just don't think it causes enough pain to stop a properly motivated person.
Kicking someone in the balls afterward a fight however, certainly causes a good amount of pain, and adds insult to injury.

agreed...
and if the case is ever otherwise, the 'not allowed to hit a girl' deal is completely off, imo

Any woman who hits me with the intention of causing harm (i.e. is serious, and not just fucking around) is going to get smacked pretty damn good.

I agree. I don't think women should hide behind the "weaker sex" bullshit anymore because there isn't a weaker sex.
The other day I punched Lumberjack in the butt and he went to wind up to punch me back, and I primed for impact and told him it was only fair. We don't want special treatment so we've got to take a few bruises on the arm to prove it, yo.

I cut down a tree with my penis and built a raft out of it... cuz I'm that tough.
