The Tailspin Toons pilot, by aviation standards, is… uhh… hmm… by aviation standards, he’s a… he’s… he’s a loony cockpit crackpot. He is a crazy pilot.
Some have asked why he’s such a crazy pilot? We believe it stems from the fact he doesn’t know any better because he learned to fly by the seat of his pants. His pilot’s license isn’t from the F.A.A., its from a Cracker Jack box.
In fairness, he did seek out an FAA Specialty Aircraft Examiner in his pursuit of qualifying for a Sport Pilot certificate. He searched far and wide and did find that the Specialty Aircraft Examiner Branch, AFS-610, authorizes examiners nationwide to test would-be pilots in the Light Sport aircraft categories of Airplanes, Powered Parachutes, Weight-shift-control, Gyroplanes, Gliders and Lighter-than-air.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t find an examiner authorized to test a pilot in the Light Sport aircraft category of Tailspin Toons Aviation Acrobatics (TTAA). As they told him the sad news that no such testing was available, they chanced the possibility they might slight his friends over at Looney Tunes when they told him that it is absolutely looney to attempt to fly in such a manner. He took that to mean it isn’t fun for a brick to fly through a window, but his brick pals over at the third little pig’s house definitely disagree with such a notion, so he keeps on flying.
While our pilot is considered to be a bit crazy, some call it daring. We’ll let you be the judge. Let us know what you think.
