One of my pilot buddies went to look at a small 2 seat aerobatic plane that was for sale at a grass strip in a nearby town. He and the owner took it up for a test flight. I think they were about 200 or so feet off the ground when a 5' black snake came out from somewhere to see who was taking it for a ride. That was a pretty tense trip around the traffic pattern, I hear. They said that snake almost got to fly that plane solo until they remembered they were in the air.
He didn't buy the plane.
