Fly and have fun. Unless you are the best, there'll always be someone better. Soon enough, I'm afraid.

I've seen a few low passes from the ground - - truly awesome, like watching an eagle fly, there'd be something missing in never having seen and heard one of our graceful ships smokin' fast down low. And though as I get older I'm becoming more risk averse, I still enjoy doing a low pass now and then. Also do a fair amount of low flying and landing in unusual places in my Husky.

I can't imagine trying to go through life never taking chances.
