For my planning purposes, which FBO can she be found in?
Yeah, way to make me feel better. Everyplace it is "oh, they are so friendly there!"
For another tool, about 14 years ago or so we were on a celebratory vacation and chartered a seaplane to an outlying island in the South Pacific. Nice tanned young Kiwi pilot, and we chatted a bit before short flight. We land and lady cardiomd requests a picture, so I set self-timer, and the pilot poses between us and puts his arm around Ms. Cardiomd and holds her close. It is the funniest picture with me awkwardly standing by myself with this WTH face, and the smiling pilot and Ms. Cardiomd looking like a happy couple.
I'm not sure if the pilot or I was the tool of that day.
Since I still remember this after this many years I guess it makes me the tool.

Mrs. Cardiomd thinks "awww, he was so nice!"
If any of you did NZ based island flying circa 1999 I give you a virtual trade-a-plane swat.
