In the old days pilots would often fly with a cat and a goose.

This is an Urban Legend. Geese were never used, as they *love* to fly in the
fog. Ducks were required.

Yep. For one thing, geese will fly upside down, while a duck will avoid
inverted flight. If ducks fly upside down, they quack up.

Yep, and they return from the vet with a big bill.

Still, with a duck or a goose in the cockpit, you can always get down.

Good point Tim. Lot's of "down" floating around. That's why it's
important to check your air conditioning ducts before you take off.

Q: How do you know you've blown a duct?

A: You look in the mirror and see feathers around your mouth....
