I guess that's true for someone okay with the possibility of getting a finger in their underwear.

Yes, because that possibility is zero.

Nah. My friends can't wait for me to get my license, uh, certificate so I can take them to one of several different popular eastern beaches. By car the trip is upwards of 5 hours. By Warrior---less than 2. And I guess the South would afford better weather then the North...at least till Summer! (man it gets HOT!) And I can always upgrade to IFR and a plane such as the upcoming Synergy. Oh, the places we'll go!

You'll need a lot more "upgrading" to do the things you propose.

You're wrong: people have reported fingers up their underwear (and worse) many times.

You've never flown a Piper to a beach?

No, I'm not wrong.

[WingsAloft]

No, I'm not wrong.

Yes, they most certainly did. Including a mild-mannered school teacher I know.

Well, in the interest in keeping the horse before the cart, lets get lesson one under our belt before worrying with Sunny Beach Airlines.

So they filed a police report?

Marty, you are so right. Fact is, I am not a pilot. Yep. I am NOT a pilot. Marty? I'm not even a student pilot! Hah!

[WingsAloft]

Whoa, who do I think I am, anyway? How do I dare challenge an FAA certified pilot, anyway? Well, well; I think I should retire to my cloister and study my little beat-up copy of Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge!

It's great that you're getting a head start reading the PHAK. It's great that you're participating in aviation forums. Sure wish I could have done that when I was a student pilot (BTW, you are a student pilot as soon as you start studying the art and science of flying, no license required).
