Geology class flight coming up, I'm gonna banepost out loud on the plane, and probably on the way to the airport and back to campus. Do you think they'll shoot me, then throw me out of the plane?
>Pic related is cropped schedule page from the syllabus. Information suggesting the university's location has been redacted by CIA.
The flight plan filed with the department lists me, the pilot, the professor, and only two girls from the class. First one to answer the professor's question gets to stay on his aircraft.

>Lotta loyalty for a double major!
>Or perhaps he's wondering why someone would ask a question of a man, before answering it on a plane?
On field trips he asks questions about the land form we're looking at and half the time no one says anything so he just answers it himself.
Anyway the point of the trip is to take a flight over a barrier island to see the land features on a large scale. We will also go there by bus to see things up close, weather permitting. The class is Geomorphology, which is all about processes that shape the land surface.
The flight was supposed to be the 23rd but it got postponed 2 weeks because of Tuesday's weather. It can't be next week because the tide is too high in the afternoon to see the mudflats.
>yes, the water rises!
The plane can probably only fit 6 people at a time, so they have 3 of us on each flight, for a total of 4 flights. Each one lasts about an hour. The professor and the pilot will be on each flight, of course. I got stuck with the last flight, so
>I get to bring friends
by which I mean I volunteered to drive the other two people on my flight to the airport so we don't miss morning classes just to spend hours waiting in the tiny regional airport.
I have a lot more ideas than just the ones in this post. I've been smirking to myself for weeks modifying plane scene quotes to say on this trip. No one will even get it and I'll end up looking like a sperg but I don't care. I wouldn't do this on a commercial flight but now I have a rare opportunity to fly on a
>small plane for you
with only people I know, plus a pilot, so no one would take it seriously if I joked about
>crashing this plane with no survivors.
I'm not autistic enough to dress up like CIA, but I thought about it. It's probably a good thing I don't own cargo pants.
Am I about to make a fool of myself, /bane/? Will I not fly so good? Or would it be quite the feather in my cap?
I'll update if there's interest.
