Lines: 23 /* line eater fodder */ I'm interested in collecting one-line adages and proverbs about aviation and aviation lore. There's a clever saying to cover just about any circumstance that can happen in flying, and I'd like to be adequately prepared for the unexpected. A few examples of what I'm looking for are enclosed below. Please MAIL responses to me; I'll post a summary if I get sufficient responses and requests ( seismo!jim is best, but the return path in the header will probably make it too - we get our news the long way 'round). Jim Wang N4766L (seismo!jim, jim@seismo, seismo!kobold!artecon!jim) "Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing." "Keep the dirty side down and the pointy end forward."
