Bob:
"One of the things we used to
do in the Air Force was perform a
blind cockpit check, and you say, well, what is that all about?
We are creatures of habits and
when we're reaching out with our hands for a switch, if we hit the wrong
switch we're in a world of hurt.
So it might be interesting to
just challenge yourself. Sit there with a friend or with a flight instructor
and close your eyes and see how close you come to finding fuel selectors,
mixtures, and flaps and gear because if you hit the wrong one, you are in a
world of hurt."
