Got Engaged!!!

Well, I took the dive! I was a mess this morning, but I pulled it off. Very nervous! After dropping my fuel strainer in the fuel tank, getting a fouled plug (then quickly cleaned it with a little heat!) I was able to pull off what my now Fiance didn't think i'd be able to do. I surprised the heck out of her! Janelle is a hard one to pull things on, so the fact that I had everyone's help really made it happen. I am really on a high...and now home so it's time for a drink!!! Thanks to all that helped! Rob, Stacey, Justin, Brad & Ali!

Re: Got Engaged!!!

About 5 years ago I helped a friend get engaged via airplane. We had planned a weekend trip from Flagstaff to Scottsdale to enjoy the the warm desert with our our ladies. First thing in the morning, my buddy went out near our ski area and wrote "Will You Marry Me?" in huge, pink letters on the snow. By the time we loaded up and take off to fly over the spot a couple of hours had gone by. We get over the spot and circle several times, but theres no writing to be seen on the snow. All the water in the wet spring, snow had rinsed the writing away. So now he and I are awkwardly looking at each other both thinking, "$#*t, now what??" A few minutes go by and he's got this engagement ring burning a hole in his pocket. He decides to go with plan-B. He just breaks out the ring and asks her....She said yes.

We were on flight following with a nice female controller, so I think it would be kind of cool to share the event that had just occurred with ATC and all the pilots on frequency. The controller comes back and offers a sincere congratulations. A few seconds go by and then a gruff sounding male voice comes out of nowhere and says, "DONT DO IT." The four of us look at each other in surprise, then we had all had a good laugh. I'm glad to say they're still happily married and have started a family.

Great idea! Congratulations! =D>

Congrats! I just so happened to look up from my coffee this morn to see a bright red Mooney off Pacifica, with two Cessnas in trail. My wife has a very similar pic of some words in the sky over the GG.....
