    If all 52 days of annual vacation are spent flying old helicopters or WWII bombers. If every day off is another opportunity to work on the B24 or B29.
    It's much more difficult than rocket science!
    It's more like helicopter aerodynamics!

    When you remember your youngest son's birthday because it was exactly twenty days after the first flight of your first homebuilt.

    ...you chuckle at the thought that ASN has a right hand pattern, considering that it's adjacent to the Talledega Speedway - and actually make a joke about it to non-pilot friends (who give you a blank stare).

    Pardon me if I give you a blank stare but I'm not a racing fan. I know Talledega is a track but not sure what the joke is here....
    Unfortunately in science what you believe is irrelevant.
