"Tower, Cessna 123 6 east Landing with lema taxi to the turtle"

*edit*
Got kinda lost on a dual cross country headed there and the CFI goes "uh...where's the MFD VOR?"
me: "Oh its just north of the field"
"so why don't we just tune it and fly to it"
so I spent the next five minutes tuning, identifying it and figuring out where we were in relation to it...then hung a right 120 degree turn and there was runway 32 right in front of me LOL.

I'm sure at this point he was thinking "oh God what a dumbass I have"...

sent me on a solo XC like 2 days later ... I LOVE Navaids

heh heh, i made it too easy for you.

i can't wait to come back home and visit MFD. maybe my friend's father will let me go up with him in their new king air. $5 million airplane, bought it brand new over x-mas. must me nice. of course, this is the kid with an 2 bedroom apartment in his hanger at MFD and an airstrip in his front yard and a hangar by his house that holds 3 pipers and 1 cessna, aside from the kingair. if anyone marries into either part of the gorman-rupp family, you'll be sitting pretty.

Sounds like the guy that did my Stg 1 and 2 CSE.

His dad bought him a 182T for him to build some time after the CFI. He flew it for like 5 weeks all over the place (dad bought the gas while the son gave him "instrument instruction") and hasn't flown it since.

The new plane? Either a C90 or B200 (depending on if he can get a partner or not).

...so he says...I wouldn't doubt it though.
