Special Events of the year:
COSMIC MOMENT!!!
At 8:02 PM (8 PM is 20: hours on the Greenwich or military clock scale) on
the 20th of February, a twice in eternity thing will happen and you are
here to witness it. Now that is REALLY something.
As the clock ticks over from 8:01 PM on Wednesday, February 20th, 2002,
time will (for sixty seconds only) read in perfect symmetry. To be more
precise: 20:02, 20/02, 2002. It is an event which has only ever happened
once before in eternity and is something that will never happen again.
The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long
before the days of the digital watch (or the 24-hour clock): 10:01AM, on
January 10, 1001. And because the clock only goes up to 23:59, it is
something that will never happen again.
Rules Of The Air ~ Courtesy of Jerry Crane
1.Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory.
2.If you push the stick forward the houses get bigger. If you pull the stick back, they get smaller. That is, unless you keep pulling the stick all the way back, then they get bigger again.
3.Flying isn't dangerous. Crashing is whats dangerous.
4. It's always better to be down here wishing you were up there than up there wishing you were down here.
5.The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
6.The propellar is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating.
7.When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky.
8. A 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. A great landing is one after which they can use the plane again.
9.Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.
10.You know you've landed with the wheels up if it takes full power to taxi to the ramp.
11.The probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of arrival. Large angle of arrival, small probablility of survival and vice-versa.
12. Never let an aircraft take you somewhere your brain didn't get to five minutes earlier.
13. Stay out of clouds. The silver lining everyone keeps talking about might be another plane going in the opposite direction. Reliable sources also report that mountains have been known to hide out in clouds.
14.Always try to keep the number of landings you make equal to the number of takeoffs you've made.
15.There are three simple rules for making a smoth landing. Unfortunately no one knows what they are.
16. You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
17.Helicopters can't fly, they're just so ugly the earth repels them.
18.If all you can see out the window is ground that's going round and round and all you hear is commotion coming from the passenger compartment, things are not at all as they should be.
19.In the outgoing battle between objects made of aluminum going hundreds of miles per hour and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to lose.
20.Good judgement comes from experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgement.
21.It's always a good idea to keep the pointy end foward as much as possible.
22.Keep looking around. There's always something you've missed.
23.Remember, gravity is not just a good idea. It's the law. And it's not not subject to repeal.
24. The three most useless things to a pilot are the altitude above, the runway behind and a tenth of a second ago.
