The sign of a really skilled pilot is how he reacts not to forseeable emergencies, but to ones that nobody could have anticipated. There is no shock greater than that of the totally unexpected, for against it the mind has no chance to prepare its defenses. Nothing is so important that you cannot make fun of it.
