Default Getting Raptured This Saturday?


Let's see...task for day 1...turn area ...
* * Turn point 1 - erupting volcano
* * Turn point 2 - lava flow
* * Turn point 3 - tornado alley
Man, the lift is going to be off the charts!



Is the FAA going to open a rapture window to allow those being saved
to climb through 'Class A'? ...which also begs warning of pilots to
keep vigil. Rapturees may not be terribly concerned, but running into
one of them in your ship at high speeds while they are ascending will
certainly cause a problem. It'll probably be a good idea to check the
NOTAMS before launching.

A properly harnessed team of them may be able to provide a free tow as
well, although they don't launch till 6:00pm...

Hope there are no TFRs to foul things up. On the plus side, if we get
intercepted by fighter planes, we can just flip them the bird not having
to worry about any court date.
