Drift, but Sharpend started it M'Lud.

I remember a trip to Wegberg Strip to deliver a one star to his meeting. The pilot was a first tourist, regarded by his peers as somewhat slow and boring- not gung ho enough. The airship returned to the aircraft, the weather having worsened somewhat, and pushed the pilot to launch. The pilot exercised piloteness in refusal, "I just think we'll give it a short while Sir...". The airship was not having it, all but calling the guy a wimp, and really pressing. At the third go, the pilot said, "Sir, I am the pilot of this aircraft, and we will not depart until I say so, and that won't be at all if the weather doesn't improve." The airship then did his first reasonable thing in the exchange. He STFU! Made my day.
