To a co-pilot who plays with the knobs: "They that touch pitch shall be
defiled." - Much Ado About Nothing.
On landing crosswind: "I will tell you my drift ..." - Measure For Measure.
On hangar flying: "To tell sad stories of my own mishaps ..." - Measure For
Measure.
On an engine in automatic rough over water: "How I would give a thousand
furlongs of sea for an acre of barren ground." - The Tempest.
A controller's warning about making a downwind landing: "You keep on the
windy side of the law ..." - Twelfth Night.
On downdrafts: "I have a kind of alacrity in sinking ..." - The Merry Wives
of Windsor.
On pushing one's ETA: "Better three hours too soon than an hour too late." -
The Merry Wives of Windsor.
