Would girls like aircraft rides today?

If a dashing flyer were to ask a girl to an aircraft ride today,would she?I mean back in the wonderous years of early flight,women would go nuts for such an opertunity like that!

And when their skirts and petticoats blow up, you get to see their ankles!

Willi, today's girl would probably agree to go up only if she could fly it. The female creature has evolved (perhaps mutated) greatly over the past century. She has gone from predominately submissive to now taking the offensive. Today Amelia would be just one of many thousands "take charge" women. But, then again, what have ya got to lose?

No, she'd avoid flying. And if she went, she wouldn't like it. She might even barf. And if she did like it, she'd want to fly the thing. And then the next time you saw her, she'd be wearing a tee shirt that said "A Woman Needs a Man Like a Fish Needs a Bicycle."

But if you asked her to go sailing with you, she'd go in an instant. A warm instant, of course.

I've never been denied the pleasure of sharing an airplane flight with a woman. I think a lot of them still enjoy the adventure.

or, she might want to take the opportunity to pilot the plane herself.

At least the engine would drown out her scream when I fly under a bridge

Though I bet the ones on the bridge would think Im a threat from Afghanistan.

Offer her membership into the "Mile High Club"?

In one of my flying lessons we took a Cessna 172 and Lynn came along, in the back seat.

Lynn: "Why are you just sitting here?"
Me: "I'm waiting for permission from a government thug to take off."

L: "You're going too fast."
M: "I have to attain take-off speed."

L: "That needle moved. Something's wrong."
M: "That's the turn and bank indicator. I just turned."

L: "You missed a turn at that last cloud."
M: "OK, there's always another cloud."

L: "There's a Starbuck's down there. Can we land?"
M: "No, but I'll slow down and you can step out. OK?"

Etc, etc, etc.

If that can be achieved with a tandem seating arrangement you'll be the greatest pilot who ever flew.
