Yeah, I've seen this on TV too. It all looks a little too clinical for me... after all, surely the thrill is wondering whether you're going to get caught?!

Based on the VFR limitatons, the 25 mile radius of the airport and the duration of the flight time...it sounds to me like some flight school has found a creative way to get their student pilots flight time for their log books...and create a healthy profit margin as well.

Having done it in the business class lav on one of UA's B767-200s, I can't really see what would be appealing about flying just to do this. Where's the spontaneity?

OMG. Now that is funny. I haven't tried it but it seems half the fun is that you are doing something forbidden. What fun is it if its allowed or encouraged?

Well, for me that's not really what the mile high club is all about...
-it's not an airliner
-it's not in a 'forbidden' place
-it's not spontaneous
However, it got me a new business Idea.
I'm gonna build an elevator at my home, and then rent it to couples, who always dreamed of doing it in an elevator.... :-P

Quoting OE-LDA (Reply 17): How do you calculate weight and balance in such a case? Is there a C.G. arm defined in the manuals for this setup?
Shifting load.... mmmh... Too bad...
BTW, wasn't there a case of an aircraft crashing because the pilot and the copilot were having sex in flight? I remember reading an embarrassed NTSB report about it, don't know if it's true though...
If God had wanted men to fly he would have given them more money...

25 Jdaniel001: So that's why UA retired these planes.
26 Mika: Damn i wanna join the mile high club but i agree with is said here, it's all about spontanity and doing the forbidden. That would be half the joy of i
27 Jdaniel001: Also, I thought some airline just installed extra large lavs in their First or Business class cabins. And I know VS was talking about it for the A380.
28 Bruce: ...and the price they quote is $269. get it? 269? bruce
29 ClipperNo1: All the yadda yadda about safety being priority No.1, yet I don't see any seats with seatbelts for the passengers, so you're basicly taking off and la
31 JAT74L: I wonder if the price has any significance... Two - Sixty Nine dollars!!! John
32 Theredbaron: Now you know why I am not asking for the 787 to be a marvel of technology I JUST WANT BIGGER LAVS.....
33 GQfluffy: Well, if you want to get technical... I still say the cockpit of a Fairchild Metro (even if it was on the ground parked in a hanger) is more fun. flu

35 CO737: LMAO!!! I love how the article was phrased "divert her attention to other duties". Thanks for the laugh.
36 Zvezda: Many long-haul widebodies have one extra-large lav in Economy for handicapped passengers. For example UA B777s (3-cabin) have one at door 3 and UA B7
37 AmericanPilot: Hmm...the 172 (which i fly) is a little triky to get the seat full back and reclined to do...umm...non pilot activites, while mantaining a good comft
38 IslipWN: Thats got to be embarassing for the family members. Just imagine someone asking "How did they pass away?" "They were having sex in an airplane." LOL J
39 Sacflyer: That's how I want to die. "THE PRIVATE PILOT AND A PILOT RATED PASSENGER WERE GOING TO PRACTICE SIMULATED INSTRUMENT FLIGHT." I wonder which head he w
