taking risks also yields rewards..

to stay sorta on topic, an archer executed a failed go around at SKY today
and cartwheeled off the end of the runway... 3 people badly hurt
and the 4th is ok..  messed up my flyin burger.. sigh, what a mess.
the guys from  http://www.fox8cleveland.com/ took photos..

 risk management... I'm always thinking about bids I did over a year
ago, its debilitating.. but the legacy is also a joy to fly... the risks are
worth it..

I don't think Shannon is talking about troubleshooting in the air,
but isolating problems with design... heck, I don't
use the hyd pressure gauges much, but they are tools
that can help form good decisions... installed by design.
