Pink Floyd: Learning to fly
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast,
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can"t keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that"s learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can"t keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Friction lock - set.
Mixture - rich
Propellers - fully forward
Flaps - set - 10 degrees
Engine gauges and suction - check
Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck
Flight instruments...
Altimeters - check both
