Good Morning Gang:
Through the CRMDEEN posting, I was reminded of a photo I had been shown
in the spring.
When I learned to fly, one of my best instructors told me to remember:
"There ain't no landing worth saving." - a rule I've kept stored in my
instant recall file for those days when things aren't as pretty as they
should be. The photo came to me some twenty years after that instructor
gave me that useful warning.
Have a look at http://visualatours.com/cail/45degree.htm
This one photo sure brings it home for me.

Still having fun...
