I would imagine that leaning your back end out the door and holding the controls at the same time could be difficult....

Mostly reading of some sorts. If I don't have a book or mag its the back of a cleaner bottle. I have been known to search the forums via blackberry kinda like now. I am in the car though.

I was always taught to respect my elders.
I don't have to respect too many people anymore.

Can’t say that I have. Please share it.

I must admit that there is a strange feeling to sitting with your pants around your ankles in the back of the plane, 40+ thousand feet up, 2:30am, a solo flight and knowing the thing is being flown by electrons. Your mind starts playing tricks on you. You hear things going wrong. You feel it turning when it’s not. You know that if it goes out of control, you’ll probably never make it back to the cockpit to save it.
It’s a weird thing to experience, and it never gets better with experience.

Then there’s always the times when you have to think faster than you can go.
When you’re back in the cockpit and the ATC finally gets a reply and then asks: “Where ya been 5-Tango-Alpha? We’ve been trying to contact you.”
I always claim a mysterious frequency change.

There are some "fun" things you can do while flying the plane while someone else is back there.
We call one of them "The Astronaut Crap." Need I say more.

OK, Here goes.

This was told to me in about 1982 by a guy who used to run the Metroliner facility in San Antonio. I don't remember his name. He had previously been a charter pilot in California.

Story goes that he was flying Walter Brennan in a light twin across the desert in California. Walter had to go, and insisted that the plane be landed in the desert NOW.

The plane landed, and Walter headed for the bushes. A few minutes later, Walter called out "Hey! Got any paper?" Pilot answered back "Nope". Walter asked "What about the maps?" Pilot answered back "Can't use the maps." After a few minutes, Walter asked, "Got change for a twenty?"

Pilot has an autographed picture of Walter Brennan with the inscription "Got change for a twenty?"


Of course, I can't verify the authenticity of all this, but, pretty good story.

That's classic !!

Thanks.

Edit:
I shuttered when you mentioned that place down there.
I had a very spooky experience doing a "stick shaker check" in a 227-M-III.

I don’t “hate” many aircraft. But that one is pretty close to the top of my list.
