Darwin Award. 1991 NTSB Report. Quoted in 1994 Darwin Awards.com. I lost the URL, but as I recall, the situation was a pilot and his female CFII were totally undressed (buck naked), the co-pilot's seat was reclined into a bed, and all indications were that they were engaged in sex when their Piper crashed,into a hill, killing them both. In an earlier fatal crash in the Bay Area hills, local police found the pilot's penis in the mouth of the female passenger. Hell of a way to go. "You all be careful out there"

.....the fire estinguisher that is bolted right. in front of my seat on the pilot side. This thing went all its way.... we lost all visibility with that white powder fogging all the cockpit. With no visibility I ran onto that cliff!

 

I actually had a friend, in the rear seat, hit the fire extinguisher without even knowing it. Result was an inadvertent full discharge and white powder throughout the interior. I was on an IFR flight plan, the plane was a mess (it was an under 100 hour new rental) and we made it home safe and sound. Our white faces were a sight, and I'm really glad I didn't have to clean up that mess.

 

No...it wasn't a Mile High Club effort.

I may be all turned around on this, but I'm still new to the whole flying thing, so...

Deleted...because I failed to finish reading the thread first... :ph34r:

Sorry bud, not what you were thinking. It's not just pilots who've climbed over 5,000ft in a normally aspirated mooney.

Reminds me of an accident I investigated back in the 70's. I was a motor cop in Oakland, CA and there was a report of an accident on Hwy 13 near Lake Temescal, After a search, I finally found the car upside down in the median completely obscured from the roadway by small trees and bushes. No signs of any vehicle occupants. Later I got a call from "radio" saying the driver was at the hospital, so I drove over to check. In a thick Indian accent, he related the following:

 

A friend an he had gone to a bar in Berkeley and picked up a couple of young ladies. On the way back to Oakland, the front seat passenger was performing oral sex on him when all of a sudden he saw this  "giant fireball", after which he lost control of the vehicle and it left the highway and rolled several times. Bruised and banged up, (though with his manhood intact), he and the other occupant were able to crawl out the windows and leave the scene. 

 

Later on, in my best put-on thick Indian accent, when I told the other officers in the locker room I had them howling in laughter.

 

Moral of story as it relates to Mooney flying: If you see a fireball, immediately regain control of the aircraft, resume your outside scan, and/or turn away from the thunderstorm if any.

You lost me.  I was going to comment, but two folks had posted almost the same thing already (which is why I should have finished reading the thread first... :rolleyes: ).  That's why I deleted mine, because I would have looked silly saying the same thing for a third time... :blink:

You got to start with defining "Mile High Club". Are we talking about the Bill Clinton version or something else? :D

 

 

 

I'd be willing to bet that JFK had him beat.

You certainly may be right.

Considering the perils of a probable shift if weight and balance along with the chance of getting "cross-controlled" and entering an inadvertent spin (the aircraft), I believe Mooniacs should increase their minimums: "2 mile high club."

I'm looking for a business partner.  We could buy a Pilatus turbo prop and sell time for charter on "Mile High Airlines" - with a play boy bunny painted on the tail feathers - we could make money....

Erik, it's happening in Cincinnati now, and has been for a long time. I couldn't remember the name so I googled Lunken and found this newspaper article among other links:

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-02-16/mile-high-club-cincinnati/53124184/1

They use. Cherokee 6, cheaper than a Pilatus. What would you have to charge to make those monthly payments?

Lots of folks offering this service. A way to make bigger bucks is to supply the woman, and sell videos of the club initiation. ;)

Haha - too obvious a good idea I guess!  I suppose there would be room then in the market for another such business - say in Vegas?  Who's going to invest in a pink-caddilac colored Saratoga business in Vegas with me?

 

I like the link, "Center seats have been replaced with fluffy cushions"  

Does that require an STC?

I think they rubbed the FAA inspector all over them and got a 337 approved.
