Steph, I don't have any words, I suck at expressionism, I'm just glad to see you back to your upbeat self.
Let's see if I can metaphor ...
When you fly too high and you run out of air for your wings to hold you up and you stall out, how you recover dictates where you end up.
hm, needs work. May you can help me phase that better
I know that word! I was asked one time, "What's a metaphor?" Easy. It's for keeping the cows in.
Ask Kathy about high altitude stalls. If you want curly hair, that'll take care of it for you.
Let's see: "A stall in an uncoordinated turn can induce a spin, which, without correct control inputs, can become unrecoverable."
No?
How about, "Straighten up and fly right!"
Or: "Keep the blue side up and the green side down."
Or: "Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory."
And it's corollary: "Landings should always equal takeoffs."
Regarding emergency landings at night: "Just before you touch down, turn on your landing light. If you don't like what you see, turn it back off."
How about the Air Force's motto: "We have a perfect record. We've never left one up there."
What was the question again?
