Speaking of First Laws -
When I was
Alex757's age, I had at least a passing understanding of Newton's First Law of motion.
And I had an encounter with it during a night TO - I was seated in a forward aisle seat, leaning over the vacant window seat to watch the view. Then jarred back to reality when a galley cart became unmoored, tried to remain at rest while the rest of the airplane accelerated to V1, and said cart delivered its contents onto my seat when it struck my armrest.
An object lesson in Newtonian physics!
