Unhooked Death Again - Change our Methods Now?
George Stebbins - 2009/01/23 18:55:15 UTC

Stupidity: Years ago I was in an astronomy class. On the first day of class, the instructor said "I'm now going to tell you one question that will be on the final. I'm also going to give you the answer. The question is: "Can you see the moon in the daytime?" The answer is: "Yes, you can see the moon in the daytime." The professor then took the whole class outside. He said, "Look up. What is that?" Quiet answer: "The Moon." He said, "Is it daytime?" Quiet answer: "Yes." He said: "Can you see the moon in the daytime?" Quiet answer: "Yes." Close to half of the students missed that question on the final exam. (Not me.) Some people are just too stupid to be believed. And this was a college class

BTW, Steve Wendt is exceptionally knowledgeable. Hell, he's the one that signed off my instructor rating.

I was not the only one breaking weaklinks as it seemed for a while every third pilot was having this problem. You've got to get the keel cradle set right.

Concussions are in fact very serious and have life long effects. The last time I was knocked out what in 9th grade football. I have felt the effects of that ever since. It changes your wiring.

So can you tell us about the FIRST eight times you were knocked out and the extent of THEIR effects?

Jim and I casually know each other, and some who regularly read this forum may recall that I frequently complement his opinions and achievements, as he is one of several here that I sincerely hold in high regard in terms of knowledge, intelligence, integrity and skill. But, still, it is not at all uncommon or surprising for many to not realize that.

We adapt and fly on, lesson learned each time.
Weak-links break! They are supposed to...we are ready for that. It's what we do.
