In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.

There is this and there is WoFF weather:




You pick.


"Take the cylinder out of my kidneys,
The connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,
From out of my arse take the camshaft,
And assemble the engine again."

Authority should derive from the consent of the governed, not from the threat of force

If the only tool you have is a hammer, pretty soon everything starts to look like a nail

You can't see them - and they can't see you.
Better act Snoopy's way - an arm chair by the fireside, and a dram of good whiskey -
let the enemy fly around searching for you - they may collide with each other.
Mmuahahahhaaa!!!

BTW, can you define meteorological conditions not suited for flying? Let me guess: flood, tsunami and maybe hurricane?

I decided that the engine sounded like it was running a bit rough

No point in risking it in that weather with a dodgy engine - right?

Yep - I bravely hit Ctrl Q as soon as I was greeted with that scene

My CO was not impressed with me rolleyes

Actually, Snoopy preferred to quaff a few root beers. But that is a good strategy - sit warm & snug & let'em run into each other!

There is a story of a Scottish farmer's wife who gave one of the hands a "wee dram", explaining that its 12 year old Scotch. The farmhand, apparently unsatisfied with the quantity, responded, "Thank, you ma'm, but donna ye think its a wee bit small for it's age?

Only drawback: you can't slate them as victories for your pilot.
But the whisky should compensate for that... biggrin

Workers and employers - didn't they always have different measures?
