Wow Asterix ! (^^)
As a pilot you will always be encountered with unknown obstacles in flight and in normal life !

When confronted with these daily obstacles you can :
1. Cross over the obstacle based on knowledge and pre-planning
2. Do that very importnt 180 degree turn when in doubt, in order to return to the safety you just came from
3. Do that 360 degree thinking turn to evluate your next move

Works in bussiness and flying !

Good on you Asterix !!! vhpy

Kloot

That 360 degree turn I do often but sometimes more than once, ending up all dizzy, confused and then eventualy going in the wrong direction and then the 3 steps start all over....ussualy then ending with the 360 again. (**)

It is amazing where you end up doing this vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy

All that remains is my public apology for attacking him because of my own insecurities - so here goes:

Barry, again sorry, and thank you for accepting my apology.
