Great sound bite, and repeatable...
for Tiddlywinks or MS Flight Simulator.

In the real flying world, surviving multiple
bad flight decisions is nearly impossible.

JFK Jr. is but one tragic example.

I mostly agree- I think the idea is to not empty the luck glass too

fills

Or let's be less philisophical- don't do dumb stuff!
