"Ground control to Major Tom ............."

I knew there were Pink Floydites here.

(ok-it's a new word.)

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Whereas many groups have specific chat topics or wander instantly into rapport, as perhaps recently evidenced here (:-D), we are going to attempt to travel along together within a defined virtual flight time.

9.
We intend to open a flight time for you to take your virtual seats and join in what will hopefully be an inspiring interaction of FP minds (and keyboard fingers).

I think it might be 'Pink Floydians'...

.... is that just another floydian brick in the wall

...or maybe a Floydian slip in the Fall.

And while we're at it, let's give credit to Mr. Bowie...

..... yes ..... I was reluctant to point it out due to having so much pun.

I always thought of 'Comfortably Numb" as a continuation of 'Space Oddity'

Once a flight window is open, your wannabe pilot and/or flight attendants will hope to be of service to you for the duration to encourage the interaction and flow of topics.

There is a sort of tragic but splendid isolation, thinking 2001 as well.

if necessary: its an open thing
linking our splendid isolations for communion of mind and possibly spirit

We dont mind if you bring aboard your luggage, we wont even charge you extra. There is plenty of room.

Where did 6 go !

6.
Present and late, often associated with the Christmas period.

4.
The rational day of the week to commence a flight seems to be a Friday, when the cabin crew have a greater attention span.

Fridays are good for me
I can be available almost any time
I am wondering about the amenities...

Its almost the fullmoon ;-)

For your comfort and safety we recommend mugs of hot coffee or tea for those in northern climes, and long cool mixers for those in the southern regions. As our flight is intended to be amongst the stars, cocktails may be served.

2.
We have been advised that we are cleared for take off on the 29th February. The first class lounge has been extended throughout for your comfort and convenience.

Treadmill bicycles are available for those who need to recharge their kindles during flight time.

A large crate of books (& shelves) is being stowed in the accessible cargo hold.

I can see the stars.

are you saying there are holes in the roof??

There is no roof. Only wings and overstuffed chairs. Cozy kitties should be available for lap warming if desired, Ice.

Just strengthening the fuselage.

Aaaaaaaeeeee planes, don't say that word "fuselage". Also, it sounds a little like "musilage", which then leads me to "mucous" and off I am on a flight of "not fancy".

Wait. . I'll just grab this cup of tea here and I'll feel much better. . .

1. Pre flight checks, cleared for take off.

Is that a fur ball in my lap ?

Black box is ticking - is that a good thing ?

Ground control - are you sure we are ready to fly ?

Ice wrote: "Ground control - are you sure we are ready to fly ?"

All ready to fly. Closing cabin doors. Removing wheel chocks.

Onward, Captain!

Crew - Have you told the passengers to belt up ...... in a nice & friendly manner or are we free riding ?

Are all provisions loaded ?

We might go for an early departure ...... is that a cat I see before me ?

Don't forget the litterbox...

Wait. .. no wait! I'm running for to catch up here . . .I had to run back for to grab my tea.

Okay. . I'm ready now, too.

I want the details
