Whitby is on the shores of Lake Ontario, just east of Toronto.

Whidbey, on the other hand... mooyack!

So I'm up 100 feet in the dead still air in a hot air balloon with a pilot... Me: Can you go over there to the right? Pilot: Sorry, can't do that. Me: Ok, can you go over there to the left?

When things go wrong in a hot air balloon, they go really wrong. Google "hot air balloon disaster".

The concept of turd meteors is fascinating to me. I probably need to get out more.

Wow, there is truly no limit to the things you can learn in the "Flight Training" forum. I'm so glad I dropped by. This is much more fun than all that boring schitt about spins & stalls and adverse yaw and whatnot.

That wise old pilot was Hedley. But we shall not mention his name here...

You have just described airline flying.

Ah, Pontius. He made some fine cars, the Trans Am was a nice machine.

Cretaceous or Jurassic?

Fittingly, he passed away on Einstein's birthday.

"Winds" are responsible for all aviation accidents. Surely you know that. You've been around long enough.
