Mr Dudley sir, those are not lift demons, those are lift fairies or lift pixies. If you call them demons they may take you high and then let go. Newton warned us that for every fairy there is an equal and opposite demon. Well.....as they say.....everything is relative; :-))) I'm sitting here wondering if I could actually survive explaining fairies and pixies at the bar at next reunion of the Naval Test Pilot School :-)) With fighter pilots, you have to be REAL careful with the words you throw out there, especially after a few rounds of "attitude adjustment". Knew a guy once who got to his first fighter assignment and hadn't had the honor of having a call sign given to him. To make an impression on the squadron, on his first day of duty assignment he showed up at the ready room with a tray full of the best damn muffins any of the guys had ever tasted. His wife had baked them. From that day on through his retirement, poor Ed was known as "Muffin". Ya just have to pity a guy who flies formation with "Viper", "Ironman", "and "Snake" with a callsign like "Muffin". He did get at least a partial break. Most of the guys called him "Muff".
