OK! let me guess what the Flying Tip said.

Wrong runway!

No airfield here!

You must lower your undercarriage for landing!

If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger, if you pull the
stick back they get smaller.

Truly superior pilots are those who use their superior judgment to avoid
those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

Next Flying Tip..........Turn off Crash Detection before attempting
formation flying!!!!!

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the "terminal"?

You sure did MM. It's impossible to fly a close formation with Crash
Detection turned on. Crash Lander had the same problem when he first
tried it.......but with a nick like that it didn't bother him much.

If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger, if you pull the
stick back they get smaller.
