he-he, what can i say? sometimes they do back up. actually, i have done
some backing myself flying wave in a glider out in colorado (black
forest for you soaring buffs out there).

someone (don't know who because someone elses mailer (look's like it was
around the ARPA gateway at MIT, but who knows?) totally mangled the
header) asked for the source of that quote. well, it came from an
article in the Minneapolis Tribune several years ago (maybe as much as
10 years ago) about a crop duster pilot. the quote was attributed there
to one of the pilot's instructors. in his case, the quotation was VERY
true!

but thanks for all the interesting mail i have been getting, i might
summarize it if more good backing stories come in (would you believe a
B-17??)
