In the space world, to be able to fly the next new mission, you have to have flight heritage from the previous mission. But if you don't fly the previous missionit's kind of a chicken and egg thing.

If you're not a bird watcher you won't be very excited, though gulls are graceful in flight and striking in appearance. If you're a bird watcher this makes you weak in the knees.

Target a flight that is likely to be full or overbooked. Airlines overbook because people do not turn up. Sometimes their projections are wrong and they will upgrade one or two people, (this is called cabin roll)

It's a flight to quality. Investors as well as advisers are seeking out large, blue-chip fund companies that appear to have weathered the storm successfully.

I booked a flight last-minute to El Paso.. And the weather was gorgeous. It didn't seem like there was much going to happen. It didn't look like storm weather.

If you already have departed the gate and you now get caught up in a two- to three-hour weather delay and you know you will go over your duty day, then you will have to turn around and go back, climb out of the cockpit, and the chances of getting a backup pilot will be very difficult. So in most cases, that flight will be canceled.

The talk of winning our share is not the easy one of disengagement and flight, but the hard one of work, of short as well as long jumps, of disappointments, and of sweet success.

This is a very unique vehicle. During the early part of the flight, it acts like a spacecraft. In the middle phase, the HTV reenters the atmosphere like the Space Shuttle, and in the latter stage, it flies like an aircraft. It is an interesting mix of challenges and technologies.

Right now, it's the best of both worlds low fares and lots of flights. But that can't last, and everybody who doesn't have a flight available to them in the future will be worse off.

[Miller said it was through an individual response to terrorism] that we began to understand our own strength in times of crisis. 'Let's roll,' one of our new heroes is quoted as saying as he and his fellow passengers (in the skies above western Pennsylvania) decided to take back control of Flight 93,.. One look around us today proves indeed that we are rolling.
