Thumbs up monkey see monkey do!

when i was in the right seat, i would observe the captains that flew like i wanted to fly---and watch their every move. and i mean every move.

and the US had a rostering system that would put a crew together for a month at a time.

and of course, due to the rapidity of the approach, and my duties, i could only study one aspect or the other at any certain time, but over the several flights together, i was able to watch every thing he would do, even watching where he would look. and the best was Wayne Carter in Alaska. and the truth is they all are doing things that they can't really explain but you will be able to observe. it is true that there is a feel that is developed over time that cannot be explained. like playing the guitar or like Wayne, playing the drums.

and over time, i didn't do too bad myself.

and like earlier mentioned, we all go through phases to where we can't make it pretty regardless of the conditions.

and whatever you do---NEVER NEVER say, "let me show you how to do it"

the runway has ears!!! and will come up to meet you and show you who your daddy is!!!
