Questions on VFR sectionals and TACs

Mxsmanic,

although, like Ronald Reagan, I
still there's no harm in trusting but verifying.


Stalin, actually, not Reagan.

Besides, what you describe is not what you do. What you do is to doubt
other people from your own experience - without having any.

I don't know if Stalin said it, but Reagan certainly did, in his
farewell address on January 11, 1989:

"It's still trust but verify. It's still play, but cut the cards. It's
still watch closely. And don't be afraid to see what you see."

Newps,

I was wrong, too. The quote is usually attributed to Lenin, although he
didn't use the exact words. It goes back to an old Russian proverb. And
good old Ronnie based his words on Lenin's. Funny, actually.

He was deliberately paraphrasing an old Russian
proverb.

Reagan was quoting "an old Russian saying", so it just might be Stalin's,
though I don't know that first-hand.
