In a previous article, said:
When planning a flight against the wind, how to you pick the best
altitude when trying to minimize flight time?

Since Santa was good to me and I now have the complete Sporty's Air Facts
on DVD, I've now seen Richard Collins say several times that he chooses
his altitude based on finding a smoother ride rather than a faster trip.
Of course, he's got a pressurized and turbo charged P-210, so he's got a
lot more choice of altitude than I do.

that form 'round its threads of conversation... the relationships that are
kindled, flamed and, on occasion, extinguished and mourned." -deCadmus
