My Afternoon with a Lady Named Paris. (Jet that is)

[Dan Newcomb]

Last Tuesday I had an all too brief encounter with a very lovely and very fast French lady! Now don’t get the wrong idea here, I didn’t go “all the way” with her. It really amounted to only 20 minutes or so of interesting flirtation. Believe me there was no way that I could have kept up with this mademoiselle for very long due to my lack of experience but for a while she teased me into thinking that if I tried hard enough I might turn in a credible performance. All the while I knew it was a tease but I enjoyed it never the less.

Thank you Terry, for arranging the meeting. Karen has already forgiven you! Thank you for the flight envelope demo and thank you my friend, for letting Jeff and Kevin share the adventure with me. Oh! And thank you for saying the magic words: “It’s your airplane maintain 200 knots in the climb!”

It was a day that I will never forget.
