[Test-Equipment] question

[rbethman]

Oh so true!

Then my wife to-be's Father sat me in the cockpit of the latest model of 
the F-105 Thunderchief.  I was immediately lost!  From the Link Trainer 
panel, to the F-105 panel.  I was looking at the "New" world.

I finally got certificated some 30+ years later.  I simply detest 
single-engine night IFR!

I keep my E6-B "whiz wheel" slide rule.  The electronic/digital 
replacements are just as likely to go kaput when you least expect.

Fastest way to kill a pilot?  PANIC!  When anything goes wrong, FLY THE 
PLANE - grab the checklist and go to emergency procedures.  They wrote 
those for a reason.  [ LOL ]
