Okay, okay...I'll humiliate myself again. I met Ron the day I soloed the cub. He flew into the N.L.R. airport just as we were popping open some beers to celebrate my solo. We were discussing different landings (I hadn't done a wheel landing yet) and a very well-seasoned pilot remarked just as Ron touched down, "Now that's how you land a cub." (Ron, you owe me for having told the whole world that twice now!).
After Ron taxiied up, we all went over to check out his plane (and Ron went to get a beer
). I remarked to another female pilot that he had a cute knob, whereupon I immediately realized how that sounded and we burst into laughter. Then we got to looking at all the stuff crammed into his cub. I saw this interesting contraption in the back seat, got it out and asked all the other pilots, "Hey, is this a bong?" thinking, this guy's flying around living out of his cub and smoking marijuana. When they informed me that it was his urinal, I durn near dropped the thing in my haste to shove it back into the back seat.
When Ron walks up, they told him I was playing with his urinal and thought he had a cute knob.
A tired looking Ron immediately perked up and told me abut the supercub site. :lol:
Personally, I think he must have sent a bunch of private messages out, b/c when I joined the site, I already had a reputation.
