The Piper Aztec and Scary Pilot Stories
At a kids birthday party over the weekend a woman told the story of her ex-husband and their exploits in their Piper Aztec. On one occasion the VFR pilot (husband) was on route to Tahoe with a plane load of nervous passengers at night and in IFR conditions. As they popped into and out of the clouds in the dark among the mountains the wife made the comment that "perhaps we should turn around"?
The husbands reply was "WELL DO YOU WANT TO GO SKIING OR NOT"?
I thought that was a good one. He also was famous for landing his Aztec on the green at the golf course where their vacation condo was. In order to depart he had to file a flight plan and a tee time. Eventually the Aztec was sold much to everyones relief.
