My Estonian friend (an ebay geek at the time, he just recently started teleport.org for 'post national' workers) was especially fun. We met paragliding and he said, "hey, you have a plane. Could we go fly in it sometime?"
I assumed he wanted an aerobatic flight and before the flight gave the whole "here's how to use the parachute, here's what we'll be doing in flight talk..."
He had a great time (here's the video - the reaction 1 minute in is classic). But afterwards he told me "I didn't realize we were going to go upside down - I just assumed parachutes are required."
It counts Paul. On related note couple weeks ago somewhere up north we borrowed a bike from a girl for a quick ride. Thanks God we had Captain John there. He can talk to LE

One of my best friends from Chico State is from Reykjavik. His daughter is now starting a class for Wow airlines. Last January, she needed 300 hours more so she could get a class assignment so we had her come out to stay with us in Roseville, gave her the keys to the plane and let her have at it for a few months so she could get her hours. She had lots of fun, gained valuable experience and saw California like Huell Howser.
