TEST #2
Date:  Saturday, April 27th, 2013
Location:  Northern Nevada somewhere between Winnemucca and Lovelock, 7,500 msl, 140+ knots
Setting:  Piper Dakota
Pilots:  Heather (left seat), Moe (right seat)
After a successful albeit not graceful landing at Lovelock (KLOL) by Moe, we find our pilots racing back to Winnnemucca attempting to simulate the cross country race.  Discussions ensued on how to divide the navigation and flying.  For the non-pilots in the audience this is called CRM - cockpit resource management, sometimes known as "how not to punch the pilot next to you".  The ladies had already agreed that they would split the PIC (pilot in command) duties.
   Heather, "Well, whoever is not flying will jot down our flight info and handle the radios, right?".  Moe, "Right.  Hey!  I get to be first officer when you're flying!".
   Heather, "Yeh, so that makes you Moe - First Officer.  HA!  Moe-FO!".  Fortunately, Moe had followed her mother's advice for all long trips and taken a rest room break before entering the vehicle.  Otherwise she might have peed her pants laughing.
  And that's how we end up with the ARC nicknames, HezMo and MoeFo.
TEST #2 complete.  Nicknames acquired.
