re: Are You Going To Be Cremated?

I used to fly small charter planes in college on the weekend.

Woman hired my company to fly over their family land and scatter her father's ashes over the plot in hopes his spirit would find eternal rest over what their family had worked for his whole life.

The ashes were placed in a pvc pipe with a cap on each end.

My copilot and I flew over the plot and opened the window to the plane, before sliding the tube out and de-capping it.

Apparently the airflow around the plane caused a vacuum. Every ounce of her dead father's ashes were sucked back into the plane, circulating and nearly blinding us in the dead, ashy remnants of her father.

We spent 2 hours vacuuming ol' pops out of the plane before dumping him in the sink.

We gave up after about 15 seconds of that shite, flew home and told her that the ashes were scattered successfully and respectfully

What a dumbass idea.
