What is magical about a 45 degree bank?

Pesky mountains ruin the horizon so I can't use the screws. Maybe I should
move to Kansas. Steve...?

One thing special about 45 degrees is that it is the only angle you can
really measure in flight without artificial horizon. If the horizon is
aligned with your instrument screws you are banked 45 degrees. You will
often be surprised how steeper it is then you thought.

Stick with New Mexico and the uncertainty of your bank angle.

Just send him a copy of "Condor" and a plastic joystick. That way he can be all trained up for when he eventually visits the flat lands.
