Words from Walt

• Keep the shiny side up
• Flying is dangerous & unforgiving
• East is Least & West is Best---turning right makes the numbers bigger
• Look out the window
• Nothing but flying in climbs/descents
• No charts, GPS, or paper work
• Check for 3 greens on short final
• An amphip is 4X more likely to be landed gear wrong
• Half way down the runway & not on the ground----then go around
• When in doubt whip it out (go around)----that’s the Boy Scout marching song
• On the white line (center line), no side tracking & within 500 feet of the 1’000 bar marking
• Rough Engine---Carb Heat (alt air) apply (on), mixture rich, fuel pump on & switch tanks
• GO ARD----Full Power and reduce the flaps to a lesser/lift position
• I can remember when flying was dangerous & sex was safe.
