Don't tempt fate!!!

Yes, it's funny how even scientists feel reluctant to prod at fate.


As I said on t'other thread, it does seem that SOPs and other modern teachings, coupled with high-tech systems, is countering a lower experience level in crews. I was once told that I needed 8,000 (that's not a mistake) to fly a certain Apache out of Luton. Things have changed a tad.

However, I'm mindful of one of my favorite sayings. 'Randomness comes in lumps.'

All the best for a safe new year.
