Article – man proposes on plane

A man proposed to his girlfriend inside a tiny plane 3,000 feet above the English Channel with a surprise aircraft checklist.

Floor layer Simon Bannister spends his working life low to the ground but has proven that the sky is the limit when it comes to romance.

His secret plan involved a surprise “Cross Channel Checklist” featuring a hint at the marriage proposal to girlfriend Sabrina Lewis.

Simon, 29, got his private pilot’s licence last year and decided this year to turn his eight years of training into the ultimate romantic gesture.

On Saturday, August 19, Simon finished doing his pre-flight checks at Redhill Aerodrome in Surrey and took off for Le Touquet in the south of France.

By his side was Sabrina, 36, in a Piper Warrior four-seat single engine plane.

Having completed a practice flight the previous weekend, Simon made the snap decision that he would propose in the air; previous words of mock warning from Sabrina still ringing in his ears.

Sabrina explained: “After I moved all the way down here from Hertfordshire to live with him I told him ‘you’d better not propose in bed or something rubbish like that or I’m not going to say yes’.”

Simon added: “I’ve been saving up for a ring for ages on top of [paying for flying lessons and the plane]. Sabrina’s been asking where all my money’s been going; she was getting suspicious.”

It was on the return trip that he popped the question, the Surrey Mirror reports.

The couple stayed at the Castle Victoria hotel in Le Touqet overnight, went for a morning walk along the beach on the Sunday then rented some bikes – a romantic weekend in itself.

“She had no idea the whole time [about my plans] but I was absolutely crapping myself,” admits Simon.

“The weather was closing in on us too. I can’t fly through the cloud so I was apprehensive about getting up and I had all the pressure from the plans and so much to do that she didn’t know about.”

But with such meticulous planning, everything was set.

He added: “Before I went over there I thought ‘how am I going to do this and make it special for her?’. So I re-wrote one of the aircraft checklists and laminated it so it looked like a standard one.

“I titled it ‘Cross Channel Checklist’ – that doesn’t exist – and hid it in with the other checklists on the aircraft so she wouldn’t find it until the time was right.”

They hopped in the plane around mid-afternoon and headed back to England.

“She was really suspicious about me videoing the return.” Simon chuckles. “I popped the question 3,000 feet over the English Channel.

“As we were coming across the channel I said ‘I’ve forgotten to do the cross channel check. Could you grab the Cross Channel Checklist and just read it out to me’.”

“I thought ‘Why is he getting me to do the checklist when he’s always the one who always does it?” said Sabrina.

But she dutifully read out the list.

Simon said: “[The list said] ‘We’ve got the good view, check. Hatches and harnesses, check’. I added a few aviation remarks for authenticity. Then ‘life engagement initiate, check. Ring accessible, check’.”

Sabrina said she was extremely suspicious by this point. She said: “I was like ‘I don’t know what is going on here because this has nothing to do with flying!”

On the reverse of the list, at the end of all the ‘checks’, he wrote ‘Will you marry me?’ in red letters.

Simon added: “I pulled out the ring that I had secretly hidden down the side of the seat as she read it and she just started shaking with excitement and made a big fuss. After going nuts for a few minutes she says ‘Obviously I suppose I should say yes!'”

“I was just shaking and looking at the ring like ‘Wow’,” said Sabrina. “He didn’t actually ask me though, but I think he thought he had because it was on the card.”

The couple flew back to Redhill where Simon had left a bottle of Champagne at the Redhill Aviation clubhouse, parked the plane and enjoyed a glass of bubbly.

“I’m still really excited,” said Sabrina. “I’ve been in a little bubble ever since. We’ve been together about five and a half years so it was about time! All of his friends have been giving him jip about it online.”

A few weeks after the excitement of the proposal, the happy couple went for a short holiday in Greece, from which they have just returned. Simon didn’t fly this time.

He is going to crash and burn big time…
The post wall woman “obviously” wanted to be married already and manipulated the situation so well so as to trap the hapless idiot…Still, it is his decision…The article has so many red flags…I could see it clearly now that I went MGTOW…

I stand with feet apart and let my balls hang free...Manginas dont have balls...See how they stand and sit at the whim of their masters...

Couldn’t imagine Sky-O, asking a post-wall’r to check his chute!

Living with a woman or being with a woman in any long term relationship is bound to enforce blue pill conditioning.

If you think about it, that is her entire premise and mode of operation- get him disposable using emotional and legal avenues.

I think its more unnatural for a man to be red pill while the gf is sucking his c~~~ on the daily, and begs for unprotected sex in order to tie him down/get pregnant.

Stay away from women. Being a mghow isn’t a default setting – you have to work for it and step 1 is to remove any female associations that have control over you.

That’s exactly what he is – a hapless idiot. Plenty of red flags but he can’t think clearly due to high levels of oxytocin which have infiltrated his brain. This mangina is going to “crash and burn” like you said.

Sound advice as always from Mr. Numerator.

He is probably thinking he is the cat that got the cream.
Thinking that he is very inventive, clever, romantic and has the future all figured out. A man who looks in the mirror every day and convinces himself he knows better.

But he is a little boat in what looks like calm waters. What he can’t see is the storm looming over the horizon of his future that will smash his boat to smithereens on the rocks of fate.
He will find himself prone the rocks where he will realise those fabled storms are real. They are very very real.

He will be lucky if he makes it out alive.

Hymen, check. . .

Mayday. Mayday.

SO much wrong with this

[Sky-OParticipant 18934]

He will soon find out what it is like to only own half of that airplane.

[Sky-OParticipant 18934]

And one day in the near future, she will be cheating on him with real men.

Those men are called: Skydivers

At least in the end he can fly a plane so it is not a total waste.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

As a man going my own way, allow me to consult my “Give-o-F~~~” meter…

Nope. NFG.
