We all know how silly some dreams can be.\u00a0 They can also be quite similar.\u00a0 My pal, Jeff, had one such dream.\u00a0 His consisted of his own flying of a motor home through bad winter weather with only one chance at a landing on a short, dirt strip.\u00a0 The performance of the motor home was so bad that there was no way he could perform a go around.\u00a0 It was one attempt or nothing.\u00a0 He made it.\u00a0 His wife, Tammy,\u00a0 was heard to say, \u201cWell, everyone knows you don\u2019t attempt to fly a motor home in the winter\u201d!<\/h3>\n

I was reminded of the time that I dreamt that the government decided to conduct a test concerning the ability of a bunch of dirt bag beater pilots to fly an advanced fighter like the F4.\u00a0 So they delivered a squadron of F4s to my friends and me at a little 3,000 foot dirt strip in Southern Oregon.\u00a0 With a mixture of temerity and cockiness, we all hoisted ourselves up into the fighters, started them up and took off.\u00a0 You know something, they still flew like the Cubs and T Crafts we normally flew.\u00a0 They simply put us higher with more switches and knobs!<\/h3>\n

Yep, dreams can sure be silly\u2026 but they can also be a lot of fun!<\/h3>\n
