Jets are easy. It is the ART of sailing and coaxing that last knot of speed out of your boat that is the REAL challenge.😉 On Thu, Sep 1, 2016 at 8:41 PM, David Rifkind <drifkind@acm.org> wrote:

Knowing when the wheels that are 150 feet behind you are 1 inch off the ground at 160mph... there's a certain art to that..lol. and if you screw it up the tiniest bit, the passengers think you suck...even if you just quietly put out 50 fires enroute!

I was able to get my German sister-in-law a stewardess job with PanAm back in the good old propeller aircraft days. When she told be about one of her pilots making a hard landing in a DC-7, I told her the next time he does that tell him to take credit for two landings. She did; and the next time she saw me she told me that that made the Captain mad. Ah, the good old days of 16 / 18 hours flights across the Atlantic; hot meals served on porcelain; wine in good wine glasses, and berths in First Class. Connie
