Big Red Rules

Big Red Car here.  The Boss is out drinking coffee early this morning.  He loves the 7:00 AM meeting at Austin Java.  He gets a 3-shot cappuccino and is wired for the rest of the morning.

Me, you ask, I am in the driveway with my top up because it is cloudy and a bit rainy.  Rats.  But you have to follow the rules.  Speaking of rules, I have some of my own that I call the Big Red Rules.

How do you take off in a Bonanza? (Question No. 2)

Big Red Car here.  So, The Boss is a pilot and has a number of pilot friends.  One young friend, at The Boss’s urging, is taking flying lessons and is flying a Cessna 172.

A C-172 is the most popular training aircraft ever made.  It is reportedly a great plane to learn to fly on and the young student pilot is just about ready to take his flying test.

So, he is thinking about what planes he might like to investigate after he gets his license.
