Tell me more about the pistol league. I have a few that haven't had time to see the range in about a month.
My wife's been trying for a ride since she was my girlfriend. I did manage to get her hooked up with a tanker ride, and into the cockpit on takeoff. That, I'm afraid, will have to do her. We don't even get rides anymore, unless of course you're one of the, uh, "favored few", shall we say? Or some sort of high powered civilian, politician, sports figure, you know.

I did manage to get my ride some time ago. Did some low level from Ft Collins north, then some aerobatics around the NE part of the state. Did everything I could, managed to pull the 9G's with my own hand. The little ridges up through the mountains look a little different when you're upside down at 500 feet, too. (the pilot claimed we were at 500 feet. The altimeter told a different story...) That, and hitting a Grand Slam while sportfishing with two good friends in Hawaii, are probably the two most fun things I've ever done. At least, with my clothes on...

I'll PM you about the league.
