SELECTED RULES OF THE AIR FOR PILOTS:
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.
5. The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
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.
16. In the ongoing 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.
