“Honey, how did your flying lesson go this morning?”
Argentina?
So much for asking if he yelled Geronimo when he jumped. I doubt he knows too many our American Indian peoples names. My dad was 82nd airborne in 1951 he said he yelled that Geronimo name as he went through the door. I asked him why? He said because everyone did. I yell it when I jump outa bed at 74 I still don’t know why.
Exited??
Makes it sound like he was stepping out for coffee
A solo flight that student won’t soon forget.

I'm sure she won't, but she already has her pilot's license so, not a panic situation.
What did she write in her log book for that flight?
He had no intention of jumping from the plane when they took off, but then he made the mistake of asking her how her day was going.
Honey, how did your flying lesson go this morning?”
“Pretty good... only... I probably shouldn’t mention it... but I spilled my coffee all over the good luck sweater you gave me on the landing. Other tha that it was uneventful”
That must have been a real nasty fart.
“Nag Nag Nag, I’m going for a walk!”
This whole thing sounds fishy to me. Are they sure he was alive when they took off?
Probably tough to do an autopsy on a body that goes SPLAT.
Every bone gets broken, but the body stays intact...
If you don’t give it to me I’ll jump.
Instructor was dead weight.
Student Forced To Land Plane.
= = =
Student is not forced to land the plane.
It will land itself with or without her.
LOL, that was the first thing I thought of.
I don’t get it. Why didn’t the instructor just take a plane up and jump out of it without a student aboard? Granted, I know his mind wasn’t working rationally, and the student did have a license, so he probably could have landed the plane without too much trouble, but still.
In the 20 to 30 seconds it took for him to land after jumping out, I wonder at what point he thought, “that was stupid”...
