Hey Hyper, great book huh? I've read it several times now and still pick it up every once and a while to hit a chapter or two. It's actually in my flight bag right now. That whole book is a good quote.

- Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds.

- Speed is life, altitude is life insurance.

- The first thing every pilot does after making a gear up landing is to put the gear handle down.

- Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

That whole book is a good quote.

Couldn't be any truer.

Would you rather be down here, wishing you were up there...
Or up there, wishing you were down here???

On bad landings.:

"it looks like you ran out of alitiude, airspeed and ideas all at the same time.."



On "floating" down the runway.:

Non-flying pilot..."you want me to ask for lower?"
