We used to go out to the airport to eat lunch and going with the boss was great, because if he stuck around and got into pilot mode he would not be mad at us for not being at work. We were eating one day and a guy came in with a STOL aircraft and was playing with Short Take Off and Landing. He would land and roll 30 or 40 feet. Then a guy came in flying a piper cub. He landed and rolled about 2 feet. He had to power up to taxi to the restaurant.

The boss would get to chatting with other pilots and we could goof off at the airport.

When the boss said lunch time and headed to the car that meant NOW if you wanted to eat with him. One new guy figured he could pee first and we were gone. We went to the airport and got to talking to a friend that sells aircraft for a living. He had a Pilatus aircraft sitting on his ramp with a factory pilot ready to go. So we all piled in and flew up to Enid, OK. It is a 90 mile drive but a 15 minute flight in a multi million dollar turbo prop. We had lunch and they have great pie at the Enid airport.

We got back to the office and the new guy thought we were just pulling his chain about what we did for lunch. Only when the boss confirmed it did he get really mad that he missed it.
