Well, after a rough night of the stomach bug that took out 3 out of 4 at my house, I have to say that if mistakenly offered a ride-a-long I think I'd have to take your advice and kindly say no. Hell, halfway through I wouldn't blame the guy if he punched out.

btw, so I guess when you ride along you're committed to the whole thing eh? I hope they only let aviators do that or the solos would never get any practice.
