INTRO


     What a thoroughly delightful day!

     Your head is tilted back and you are marveling at the gorgeous, billowing
white clouds that are arrayed against a panorama of the most beautiful blue 
sky you have ever seen.

     The clouds are so fantastically formed that you lapse into your old
childhood game of imagining shapes and faces on their surfaces.  Look,
there's a piggy; and there's a ducky; and there's Uncle Fred; and there's
a Tyrannosaurus Rex locked in mortal combat with Godzilla.

     At complete peace with yourself and the universe, you gently lower your 
head to gaze off at the horizon and discover that it's not where you expected 
it to be.  In fact, to your utter astonishment, you notice that the ground is 
in a rather unusual place.........straight ahead.  

     How bloody inconvenient!


     Suddenly, reality, that fundamentally bothersome quality which conveys
truth, asserts it's ugly head, and you remember that you are in the pilot's
seat of an F-16 on your very first solo flight.

     At the moment, the plane in an attitude quite exactly perpendicular 
to the surface of the earth, diving right at good old terra, which if 
you don't do something, will soon demonstrate that it is quite firma.

     In point of fact, the airspeed indicator shows that said surface is
rushing up at you at the alarming rate of one thousand nine hundred and
forty seven miles per hour.  

     You instinctively reach out to pull back on the thingamajig that causes
this metal beast to change direction, but remember that you threw it overboard 
a couple of hours ago in order to make room for your box lunch.

     Your next reaction is to throw the covers up over your head, reasoning,
perhaps, that what you can't see can't hurt you.  Too bad you're not in bed;
this might have worked.



     You begin to do a lot of what's-all-thissing, but quickly resign yourself
to the fact that stupid questions usually produce stupid answers.

     The cockpit is heating up and you're beginning to feel uncomfortable in
your flightsuit (or is it just SHEER PANIC that is causing you to sweat??)

     Finally, as a last resort, you frantically begin to study the instrument
console before you, the one just slightly below your unobstructed view of the
rapidly approaching ground.

According to regulations, which you are loath to violate, said pockets can,
under no circumstances, be manipulated, unzipped, peeked into, or fiddled
