You ride the Monkey to an Omega shop to buy a luxury watch?
Yeppers…AND I couldn’t find a parking spot [in downtown Cincinnati] so I parked the Monkey on the sidewalk in front of the Omega AD…good times!

LATE ENTRY: The Honda Monkey is a luxury mini bike.

Maiden flight for my 3861 today…an airline pilot buddy took me up in one of his two Pitts [the yellow and black one]…we did some stuff…I did NOT talk on the big white phone…but I did feel a little craptastic…

Step 1 of getting into a S2B (for those of us over 6' tall) is figuring out where you intend to create a new set of joints in order to fold yourself in there.
Dude…I’m 5’10” - 5’11” and had a REALLY difficult time…can’t imagine someone over 6’.

While @mad dog was getting his PA in the S2B, I was at the same airport (40I, Waynesville/Red Stewart) in the work airplane getting my quarterly continuity training in - short field, soft field, simulated forced landing to touchdown (spiral down and from pattern) and instrument approach back to I68. With the rest of the afternoon free - decided the plane could use a good wash - I think we called it a 7/14 Day in my squadron days. Anyways, my arms are sore from working the wash rack.

Belly needed serious cleaning and the old GA trick of WD-40 to dissolve the carbon/oil + GoJo hand cleaner did the trick to restore the shine.

@mad dog when is your PA Solo in the Pitts? Since you never got a form solo maybe we can knock that out as well?
I already had my PA solos back in 1987 in VT-2…so I probably won’t be doing any more PA solos…and definitely no form solo(s), dude.
