&quot;Tell me, Steve. What's the range on your jet? Ever fly it to Mexico?&quot; Kate asked. &quot;Its a turboprop twin engine with a range of 1500 miles, darlin'. She cruises at 300 miles per hour and Mexico's just a puddle-jump away. Sexy, huh? Seats 7 with a 2 person crew. Trax just did the annual, and I'm taking her up in a few. Wanna come along?&quot; &quot;We'd better get going,&quot; Trax said. &quot;I wanna get back to my drinks.&quot; &quot;Can I pull you two ladies away from the bar long enough for a ride?&quot; &quot;Seriously? Don't we need to go through security or something?&quot; &quot;At this podunk airport? You kidding me? Besides, your with Steve H. Greenlee. Come on - I'll have you buckled up and 3,000 feet above the rest of these drunken knuckleheads faster than you can say Elvis has left the building.&quot; &quot;No,&quot; Kate said, &quot;Let's get going, Susan. Time to go home and I mean it!&quot; &quot;Not until we take a plane ride,&quot; Susan said, tapping the top of her beer bottle on the airport bar window. &quot;Susan!&quot; &quot;I'll leave when we get back. Are you coming or not?!&quot; 2008-05-02T10:59:37Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/29074 <p>Well, lookee here, I found Stevie before I thought I would.
