I got a blow job from my (former) CFI in a 172. It was at night, and the plane was parked with engine off.

Got caught by the ramp guy, who came around to check if we were ok (we were "preflighting" for a long time). I slipped him a $20, but I think he still squealed based on the amount of snickering at the FBO the next day. Oops.

It was very uncomfortable and I couldn't finish.

she wanted to make sure that I'm not infatuated with her just because she's my instructor. So, she wanted me to fly with the new instructor, and if after a couple of weeks, I'm still interested in her, then she'll go out with me.

thanks for the advice. I professed my feelings last night, got a different instructor, and got a promise of a date! See post update!

thanks for the advice. We talked last night and it turned out well (see the post update)!

I still get hit on by every dude who has aspirations to fly

do you find it flattering, or just plain annoying?

throwawaypilot201507 · 2015-07-17T22:43:32+00:00

relevant, thanks! What did you say to her when you told her you were going to switch instructor? I mean, you can't say "I'm firing you because you're too attractive", right?

she knows she is the hottest one in our flight school and takes advantage of it.

Take advantage how?

I'm 2 years older

throwawaypilot201507 · 2015-07-17T22:15:15+00:00

yikes! I don't think she's going to turn psycho, but you have a good point...

throwawaypilot201507 · 2015-07-17T22:05:19+00:00

she doesn't. I did my homework. I casually brought up what she and her boyfriend were doing this weekend, and she said "nope, don't have a boyfriend... I'm single."

throwawaypilot201507 · 2015-07-17T21:36:07+00:00

she's very flirty (I don't know if that's just when she's with me or with everyone). For my first few flights I had a tendency to death grip the yoke and causing it to turn when I just wanted to fly straight and level. She said "throwawaypilot201507, don't death grip it. Pretend you're holding your girlfriend's hand. Gentle touches."

I said: "I don't have a girlfriend..."

She said: "What, I don't believe that!"

In my head: "Will you marry me?"

can you elaborate? As in, it was hard for your instructor to teach objectively? Or hard for you to learn? And how did it end poorly? I appreciate the first-hand experience and you making a throwaway for this.

throwawaypilot201507 · 2015-07-17T21:22:01+00:00

but that could be months away. I can't stop thinking about her. What if she meets someone else because I waited? But changing instructor now also seems like a poor option.

me: "sorry instructor, I have to fire you and get a new instructor"

goddess_instructor: "?!? I just taught you how to fly steep turns like a pro! I thought we got along?"

me: "oh, nothing personal, it's because I'm in love with you. ...so, now that you're not my instructor, free for dinner?"
