Nordbo enters the cafeteria at Sacramento Executive.

"Does anyone know where I can find Louie?"

A guy with more bass in his voice than a DC-3 answers

Check in Hangar 2.

Nordbo exits and walks across the tarmac to the hangar labelled 2. Inside hangar 2 he spots a redhead dressed up in a white T-shirt and overalls.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for Louie?"

"That's me"

[silence...]

"You're a girl...!"

"A very astute observation. What can I do for you?"

"I was told that you may have some work for me. I'm a pilot..."

"Hmm... I have one thing just in. A P.I. named Pete Ayers needs to go to Santa Rosa ASAP... apparently someone stole a plane down at Petaluma, and the guy is furious that the police won't do anything about it. They are to meet at Charles M Shultz airport in Sonoma County. Think you can do it?"

"Sure! As long as he doesn't mind flying in my plane. It uh... can scare some people off."

"So you're the guy that landed that heap of junk resembling a C172! You've got balls flying that thing!"

"It's just until I can fix it up."

"I can fix it up for you... Tell you what... 5 grand and I'll make it pur like it has never purred before."

"I'll take you up on that offer... but later."

A large man approaches the hangar with a briefcase.

PA: "Hello, I'm looking for Louie?"

Nordbo: "You found her..."

PA: "But you're a girl!"

Louie: "Aww crap!.. I wasn't this morning!"

PA: "Funny... I called earlier about a flight to Santa Rosa?"

Louie: "This is your pilot, he'll get you there..."

Pete Ayers and Nordbo walk out onto the ramp, approaching "Nordbo's" plane, N700MS. The tail number has almost peeled off completely, and large areas of paint are about to peel off as well. When Pete realizes that that is the plane he is flying in, he stops.

"That thing flies?"

"Yep...but only if you turn it on..."

"Are you sure...?"

"Almost..."

Pete's blood pressure goes through the roof at this point, he starts turning red, but Nordbo is oblivious to the fact.

They both get in and Nordbo fires up the engine...

The engine starts coughing and finally settles into a spurting humming. Nordbo gets clearance after a Learjet, and quickly starts the climb towards the cruising altitude of 6500 ft. The air is very turbulent today, and Pete Ayers turns more and more purple. at 6000 ft, he suddenly puts his hand to the chest. Nordbo reacts quickly, turns around and starts a fast descend towards KSAC. He gets clearence for a straight in landing on runway 02. Swooping in rather steep, Nordbo puts the plane down about 1/3rd down the runway. Halfway to the ramp they are met by an ambulance.

Flight time 12 min.

The girl snickers to herself as the pilot leaves. Things are going exactly as planned. Take one clueless PGA pilot, one aircraft belonging to the meanest Viking this side of Denmark, a passenger with a heart condition set up by an imposter... shake vigorously...

PGA will be out of business before they know what hit them.
