Haiku of Aviation

Empty in the flow
Moment to momemt vanish
Shunya ZERO points

I have just been WAITING to use my new Latin word!


icarus in flight
slipping through the clouds up high
citivolus now

sailplanes cost to much
maybe we should paraglide
peak oil won't ground me

A Haiku? Is that
a seventeen meter ship?
plum blossom paint, right?

OK, I will bite...

Flirting clouds gaze down
Fingers bold and brave fulfill
giddy heart's desire



Gear is down and locked.
Air speed, traffic, spoilers, wind
No going around.

one more...

Low again. Dig out.
Curse, forsake, cajole, seduce.
one knot full circle!


Matt (Jr)

Stop me before I haiku again...

What did I forget?
Too many things to list...
The checklist! That's it.

A little fun. I have been describing soaring to power pilots as the
Haiku of aviation, seemingly simple, but actually perhaps the most
multi-faceted. Got me thinking, why not give it a try? Anyone else
care to try?


haiku |ˈhīˌko�; ˌhīˈko�|
noun ( pl. same or -kus )

Soaring in the spring.
Such elegance and beauty.
Haiku of the sky.

OK, I'll bite too.
For the Antares pilot...

Landout Looming Large
Ground Rush - Field Trees Boulders Swamp
Push Magic Handle !

See ya, Dave "YO electric"

Okay, so these aren't exactly aviation . . . but we do use PDA'a and it's
almost the same (g). Got these in the email the other day - too good not to
pass on.

The Web site you seek
Cannot be located, but
Countless more exist.

------------ -------- ------------ --------- ---

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.

------------ --------- --------- --------- -----

Program aborting.
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.

Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.

Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

I ate your Web page.
Forgive me; it was tasty
And tart on my tongue.

Soaring season's here
Uncle Fuzzy is waiting
