[Rhodes22-list] Here's one for Brad. Basic rules for pilots. (Humor)

[Rik Sandberg]

Rummy,

I used to have a good friend that flew a C-182. If you went up with him, 
he always pull some stunt that would scare the bejesus out of you. Then 
he'd look around with a big grin and say, "people that fly together die 
together you know". Most people that would fly with Chet a second time 
were pretty tough as airplane passengers go.
