Gettin In the Nieuport Page 2 Ok.. Now that you've seen the RIGHT way to get in your Canvas Bird of Prey, Tom Glaeser, at great personal peril is going to demonstrate below, via a sequential series of photos, what can happen if you leave just ONE step out of the correct mounting of a Nieuport |
Being in a hurry can result in an embarrassing series of mis-steps. |
Trying to look "cool" and not admit you're making a mistake can only exacerbate the situation. |
Saying you lost something in the cockpit can work once or twice. |
Turning the wrong way can also lead to an awkward situation. |
Saying you're trying to see behind the instrument panel will be believed ONCE. |
|
Saying it's your lounge chair for Air Shows might work. |
Then again.. Maybe not. |
Getting off the "lounge chair" can be awkward. |
We call this method the "cocker spaniel in love" approach to getting in. |
Just think of the time you were talking with your date's father and their dog fell in love with you. |
Here is another awkward time. |
|
We fervently hope these examples of how NOT to
get in your tattered bird of prey have been helpful and educational for
you. |
