Incredible detail! Great article to read. I think that I came away with I should own one of each.
Having a gun in your hand is much more effective than having the entire police department on the phone!

An excellent article.  Thank you, John, for posting it.

The lesson I take away from the piece can be summarized by the three old words: "placement, placement, placement." Or, as Wyatt Earp is said to have advised, "Learn to take your time in a hurry."

Someone wisely stated that the best first step in handling most airborne emergencies is to wind your watch because an overreactive misstep can compound the existing problem.

I love this idea. So true. Keep calm and wind on.
