When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.
-- Mark Twain

Aviation's worst enemy is ignorance of the price we pay for ignorance. The joys of flying do not belong to the timid, the naive and the ignorant; they belong to those who are mature enough to realize that what is bad in aviation should be exploited to make what is good about it better. Therefore, the most honest way to promote aviation -- and safety -- is to tell it like it is to those who are willing to listen.
