In anything that has some level of risk I like to be well practiced.

The search for the simplicity of a single line
When I first started thinking about the Inner Art of Airmanship, I was looking for the common connections between all kinds of flying. Sometimes we find deeper truths that connect more diverse activities. Like how how search for the simplicity of a single line links a seventieth century French painter, Zen brush art, the trajectory of space missions, Formula 1’s racing line around a bend — and flying. See the wind, the energy, the traffic, and draw a line in the sky.
