Short Final: The Lighter Side of Flight

On a Young Eagles flight recently, the 8-year-old girl sitting in the right seat asked me what why I had a switch for “rotting bacon.” Confused, I asked her to point to it. Then I said, “Oh, that’s for the rotating beacon!” I’m going to use that term from now on. Rich Oleszczukvia e-mail
