You are among the Few of your age that can fly an airplane, as opposed to play a video game. Lots of "pilots" now know nothing of figuring descents, having some basic "milestones" on descent and decceleration, power settings that will work thru configuration changes. It's all a mystery to the video gamers. I brief these things in a automated bizjet and the young ones look at me like Grandpa.

Wait 'til all the power goes out!

I learnt all the techniques and tricks instructing on the C-5
