The first rule of Bird Club is that you do not talk about Bird Club!

I was invited by our chief flight instructor to a QB meeting one night. Sadly, I couldn't go (prior commitments). he told me they have meetings but nothing really happens except for drinking.

So how is this organization any different from a friday night down at the hanger?

Lear boy, what's the big deal?

As a female, and thus ineligible, the QB's are a bunch of males pilots getting together and drinking along with telling some tall tales. I'm not sure if it pre-dated the Ninety-Nines - the female version of a a bunch of pilots getting together and telling tall tales.

You get invited, go have fun. You don't get invited, I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get a bunch of pilot buddies together to go drinking and tell tall tales.

Ok fine, guess I've been a QB for several years, just didn't know it. :nuts:

I knew a couple of QBs while going to school in San Louis Obispo. Everyone of them was a very noce guy. I once enquired about membership and was told that "You don't ask them, they ask you".

Also, "Birds Fly, Men Drink" is the motto of the "Man Will Never Fly Society":

Which, BTW, the membership is mostly made up of professional pilots.
