Cancelled. Delayed. Re-routed. Holiday travel can be aggravating and that day was no exception. It was two days after Christmas and I was stuck in Washington Dulles Airport...my flight home had been cancelled and the next one was five hours away.
I walked around the terminal aimlessly for awhile, looking for a good way to kill some time. There were few options: a newsstand, a fast food place, and a bar. With five hours to kill, getting trashed seemed a good an idea as any.
I took a seat at the bar, ordered a beer and waited for the time to pass. Sitting next to me were two pilots, unmistakable in their crisp uniforms and airline lapels. Thankfully, they were just drinking coke.
I didn't pay much attention to them initially, but did hear bits and pieces of their conversation.
"The plane's sitting by the gate ready to go, they just won't let us take off for another five hours," one of them mumbled. "We won't get to New York till midnight," said the other.
New York? That's where I was going. I looked over at my neighbors and got a better look. Both were older, perhaps in their fifties. One was particularly tall, maybe 6'3", while the other was around my height, maybe 5'8." Both were handsome in their own way.
The shorter pilot had a somewhat stocky, but fit build and a full head of salt and pepper hair. His clean shaven face and light blue eyes gave him an almost youthful appearance, albeit distinguished. The taller pilot, in contrast, was bald...although it suited him. He had a prominent nose and a muscular build...I could see his thighs tautly filling out his pants. His eyes were dark and contrasted his paler skin.
They were both the opposites of me in appearance. While they were older and distinguished, I still looked like a college student. Even though I was approaching 34, I had a youthful face and a slim build. Particularly in the sweatshirt and jeans I was wearing, I looked ten years my junior. My darker olive skin also set me apart from my bar-stool neighbors.
When I heard them mention New York, I interrupted their conversation and introduced myself as Max. The taller gentleman was Frank and the shorter one was John. They were, in fact, the pilots for my flight.
Both were friendly and with one beer in me, I found myself more gregarious than usual. Our conversation was light and topical, and I found Frank and John to be good company. We had killed about an hour chatting away, and were wondering what else there was to do.
Of course, my mind raced with naughty possibilities, but nothing to me indicated that either John or Frank were into gay sex. And save for a few glances at Frank's crotch, I gave no indication of how much I loved to suck cock.
John asked me if I'd ever been inside a cockpit and I replied I hadn't. They told me the plane was docked on the runway and they'd be happy to show me around if I wanted.
