Crimeny . . . that is serious pressure . . . that may be worse than
Ernest Gann's story of his captain lighting matches under his nose
during an otherwise straight-forward instrument approach . . .
apparently to emphasize that you need to be able to do this stuff . . .
even under pressure.

Blue skies . . . and maybe less pressure on all of us.

It would be worse pressure if Mom was driving the car and
you were on you first date the "girl" of your dreams.
