Now, someone please tell me what the politest way is to say "no" when she asks if I want to go for a ride.

Wow, that rules. (Have to admit, at first I read this as "flew IN an airplane" and was like "does she want a cookie?")

She wasn't old enough to drive a car by herself five years ago, but here she is now flying Cessnas.

i have a number of pilots in my family and i just tell them "no because i dont want to die"

I'm sure when she wins the Noble Peace Prize after becoming president of the world in five more years she'll be sure to remember 'my brother, an inspiration' in a glancing mention in the acceptance speech.

no i don't really wanna die
i only wanna die in your eyes

Mr. Que, Thursday, 23 July 2009 21:16 (sixteen years ago)

I'm just glad that Beeps is on record for screaming her eyes out whenever she's on a plane, so there's that excuse.

She's on track for that, Ned. She's an award-winning figure skater who left high school an year early and is now flying airplanes by herself.

I don't even think Abraham Lincoln did any of that.

Shows what a lazy punk he was.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 23 July 2009 21:18 (sixteen years ago)

Lincoln was a decorated B-52 bomber during the Civil War.

The rules will definitely change on here the day my blood relatives start posting on ILX.

my cousin had her pilot's license before she had a driver's license. she's now flown planes for 10 years (at least?) but i've still never gotten in one with her!

tehresa, Thursday, 23 July 2009 22:33 (sixteen years ago)

one of my exes got a pilot's license as a way of overcoming fear of air travel.

do you people not get in cars either? wtf

girlish in the worst sense of that term (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 23 July 2009 23:35 (sixteen years ago)

small planes are no joke dangerwise - you of all people should be aware of the devastating loses theyve exacted upon celebrityhood

ice cr?m, Thursday, 23 July 2009 23:38 (sixteen years ago)

That's right, cars are just like airplanes. I'm sure we all used fake pilot's licenses to get beer when we were 20.

let's all be scared of everything all the time

ilx is scary.

flyin to the liquor store brb

I haven't been in a ton of cessnas (hmm, three?) but I don't see why they're any more frightening than getting on an airliner or a train or a bus or a taxi

girlish in the worst sense of that term (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 23 July 2009 23:42 (sixteen years ago)

its because theyre more subject to environmental hazards and often flown by people w/little experience - its well documented that the larger a plane is the safer it is

ice cr?m, Thursday, 23 July 2009 23:45 (sixteen years ago)

um, the impact of a plane crash is far more likely to lead to death of the driver and passengers than a bus or car crash.

looks like small planes crash quite a bit more than large ones but are still safer than cars - trains no doubt the safest of all

I have an ex who flew cessnas as well, though he'd not clocked up enough hours to fly alone or anything. Never got in a plane with him and prolly never would have anyway. He's as panicky as a kicked mule.

That's right. Taking a selfie while flying a small aircraft over Louisiana marsh. No problems with that.
