When you show up at an an Air show with a Mini-Max The Warbird guys might as well take their toys home because the Max is chick magnet! From what I've seen, Paul has done pretty well with his Air-Bike.

WOW !!!!!  

  LOL!! Photo shop makes anything a Chick magnet...But I must say that is pretty sweet

AWSOME!!!!

I understand your problem Dick. They just swarm your plane like "bares" to honey! I used to carry a stick to fight them off so they would behave. Recently I solved the problem by getting  one of those "take a number" machines like they have at the Dept Of Motor Vehicles. They now each have to wait until their number is called so I can "process" them in an orderly fashion.

Like you have found out, it is a tough job but someone has to do it.  Glad to know that you are still UP to the task. You have the right attitude and  are probably just busting with technical information. This a reality version of that phone commercial where you are supposed to "reach out and touch someone!"

All for now, stay in touch (so to speak)

Paul,
As professionals we do need to maintain "Rigid" standards when dealing with the War bird groupies (WW-1 in your case and WW-2 in my case).  Your right, someone has to do it. Didn't Avenger try to join our ranks awhile back but ended up running his wing tip into the hangar? Probably caused by groupie target fixation and premature lack of self control due to his inexperience and the excitement of it all. I had that problem myself when I was younger. I was getting close to needing your help this weekend but held my own. (No, not that kind of holding my own)
Well "ACE", you have my respect as a Home Front War Hero, but you also get an attaboy for your public service in promoting aviation.
Thanks
Dick

I just got to say that i have looked at that photo many times and have yet to find an airplane in it!

Jody I had the same problem

I must admit to a bit of fixation a while back but you see my wife has lived in 3 different states in the last 5 years and not with me and I had forgotten what a good looking woman looked like... she is a corp trainer and has been opening new territories and watching Hun movement for me....  but she comes home in 2 months so I should be back in action again.  At 61 I don't qualify as a young one anymore... but thanks I needed that.  Women are hard on a man no matter if they are yours or someone elses for sure.  I fixed the wingtip by the way... but the memory lingers.  By the way I do get visitations by the wife about every 3 weeks... sort of like dating again.

I didn't see no plane )

OMG!  Where are her lower legs and feet?! (It took me a long time to notice they were missing for some reason, guess I just wasn't looking there).

BTW, where was that picture taken?  I'm sure much of the attraction was due to the paint job and I'd like to try my luck...

Well ..Im phoning my Mum and telling her daughter (my sister) has had her photo taken again with another aeroplane....MUM Wont be pleased.

Quoted from 1366 Can you please explain that how this chick magnet works?

I use a 5 lb rare earth magnet on the firewall for balance and the patriotic paint job always gets their attention and it helps if the girls wear a lot of heavy metal jewelry.
