"Hold at Minot" by Erostos. Because of my own sexual preferences, I don't actively seek out gay stories. But this author was kind enough to send me a set of six stories, most of which seem to deal with gay sex among aviators. They're delightful. The main thing they have going for them is that they put the sexual activity into a context that makes good sense. This author either *is* a pilot or he watches The Learning Channel real carefully. I particularly enjoyed the pickup lines of the gay pilot, who was basically trying to find out if the other pilot was likewise gay and interested in a liaison: "I could use an approaching warm front just about now." Or how about this reply: "...there's considerable moisture in these two converging fronts that we're gonna have to deal with over the next twenty-four hours." Or this one: "Moisture in fronts like these can build up only so far before having to release explosively." You get the picture. To a certain degree, this story breaks through the barriere (How's that for a Freudian misspelling!) between gays and heterosexuals. I mean, I would rather hear pickup lines like these than have a guy look me in the eye and say, "What's a nice girl like you doing in an airport like this? " or even whisper in my ear, "Laugh if you want me to fuck your brains out." An extremely clever and intelligent story!
