Whether you're a "dumb CFI" or a corporate hotshot in a G-V, you're a customer of the FBO, and you should be treated accordingly. accordingly

First off I like this discussion because it is applicable right now to a good majority of us here at JC. All good points and I don't think anyone is dissing the CFI / GA Pilots here in deference to the Corporate Pilots, but the point was made appropirately above ... [b]accordingly[b]. When I upload 500 gallons of Jet A I expect to be able to go get some food in a reasonable amount of time. If everone is considerate we all get to eat, but to use a courtesy car to sight see in my opinion is not fair play. We often will invite other pilots ( corporate and GA ) to go along when its our "turn" to use the Courtesy car. I think ignorant CFI is applicable because they just need learn to consider the big picture.

I agree 100%. The car is for food and quick shopping. It is not intended for sightseeing!

Look at this sweet ride my student and I had in Dryden Ontario yesterday

One of my favorites was an old jalpoy of some sort from West Woodward, OK. The keychain was a huge carriage bolt about 5" long so you couldn't carry the keys off with you in the a/c. I nearly busted the glass counter at the restaraunt with the thing! The heater barely worked and the suspension exhibited some crazy characteristics! The car seemed to bounce up and down for several minutes after each bump in the road! I thought we had hydraulics or something...

What's all that white stuff on the ground?

How about Jasper, AL, 80's model Cadillac Fleetwood Limo!

Hill Aircraft at Fulton County, GA (FTY) has two new PT Cruisers!

I prefer the limo, though.
