[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

rp-21:

With all due respect, I LIKE nose first. There you are, pressed back in your seat as the old girl has her nose pointing 45 degrees skyward. Then, just as you're getting a nice view of the sky, flump, the nose drops and your guide (who has mistakenly thought you could actually see him and respond to his directions) shifts back into view.

Of course, as Stew was so kind to point out, this may lead to some "( slipping really ) off the flat deck of his float"

Thank you Stew, for that reminder of my Carrier driving skill.
