And it has to be AGL not MSL (otherwise all those folks in Denver start fooling
around on the ramp).

Oh darn. And here I thought I could become a member by never leaving the
ground. My house is above 7000 MSL. :)
Hmmmmm - I'm not even sure my Cherokee can make it to 5280 AGL here
in New Mexico in the summer... Let's see...that means I would have to
be at about 13,000 ft MSL which is close to the service ceiling on a
standard day. Might have to wait until winter. :)

Mike, you might want to check the FAR's on this one. Under part
61, it is 6,072ft (1 NM), it's only 5,280 ft if enrolled in a part
141 program. Remember, if both participants are pilots, both can log
it as PIC since both are required crew and it should be logged as dual
received. Practicing while solo is just sad. For safety sake, student
pilots shouldn't try to take pictures on your first attempt. You have
enough to do without that.
And if you aren't a commercial pilot, be very careful. I think the
FAA ruled that this type of activity could be considered compensation.

Virgin Atlantic are offering membership to people who book the double
beds they plan to introduce shortly.
One bed will cost the same as two business class tickets. The beds are
in individual 'cabins' separated by screens from the main cabin. The
spokesman did not expect the noise of lovemaking to disturb other
passengers because of the 'ambient aircraft sound'. So be warned that
Virgin obviously use very noisy aircraft.

I knew a guy at work who had a 2-seater Yankee (similar to Grumman
Tiger) & said he had joined the infamous Club, at which point I was
like, "Too much information!" (but that's another tangent). Then again,
he's sort of a shorter chap. I'm 6'3" and I refuse to even THINK about
trying that in a Cessna 172. I value my life, y'know?

As I recall, the front seats in a 172 can move WAYYY back. How much
room do you need? On second thought, don't answer that.

I read somewhere about a guy who figured out a primitive autopilot
for a 172 - he put the control lock in, then used the trim to get it
more or less level. He could then, um, join the club with his
girlfriend in his lap, occasionally tapping a rudder to keep
right-side-up.

It's not the room. The 172 is fairly forgiving but I don't quite
trust it to fly itself. Wonder if I could convince someone to file IFR &
fly the left seat with foggles...

Most I've seen in a 172 was single-axis. But combine that with the gust
lock/trimwheel trick, and...I'd probably veer into Class C or D airspace.
There just isn't enough Class G out here on the East Coast! :)

I'll have to check next time I see a 172, but wouldn't the yoke then
be WAAAAY forward? That hole (the one in the yoke) is pretty near
full forward deflection...I can't imagine you could have anything
close to level flight...anyone else have more recent experience in a
172?

Plus, you can just go rent a plane whenever you get the urge.
Renting the other is generally frowned upon...

You're very correct... Next time you taxi by one parked, notice the
elevator is pretty much ALL the way down.. Maybe there was another hole
drilled in the control rod? (Or maybe the story is just BS?!)

several people were discussing transport arrangements, whilst another group
was making "small talk" with the Japanese visitor via a young Japanese lady
who was translating. Our visitor was asked "Did you bring your wife along
on the trip?" The translator, probably working on "automatic" and
overhearing the other conversation in the background, inadvertently
translated "Did you bring your *car* along on your trip?" The visitor's
reply raised a few eyebrows as it was translated "No, I'll just rent one
whilst I'm here. Can you recommend a suitable place? I want something
small, not too fast, and reasonably economical."

The chairman of the home office in Japan was visiting the local
distributor during a recent civic election. The distributor's wife,
sitting in the back seat of her husband's car as he drove the Japanese
executive through the city from the airport, reports the following
conversation:
"I see you are having an erection!"
"Yes"
"How often do you have erections?"
"Usually every four years"
