I haven't read the link and I'm not going to. It's more fun just to recall stuff, like ...Beware the hand that moves before it thinks.The three most useless things in aviation: The runway behind you, the altitude above you, and two seconds ago.It is better to be down here wishing you were up there, than to be up there wishing you were down here.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIn the immortal words of the Grand Old Opry's Minnie Pearl, I'll quit playin' now.

This website is actually owned and operated by my co-worker/instructor. He has to be one of the most knowledgeable people I've met. He knows all the Canadian, US and ICAO rules, a great person to learn from.
