I am prone to thinking you are a pilot now.

Nope. I never had the urge to fly. My brother is twin-engine rated. I always wanted to drive a big semi-truck! Really, I did. Fascinated by them.

Nothing like seeing that light when the road ahead looks darkest! (Soup mail, please. Thanks).

Pilots are always on the look out for anything that helps them land safely. Great imagery.

I certainly hope so, Victor. I feel much safer when they are on a glide path!

Such an incredible responsibility pilots have, Tom, and I'm afraid they don't get enough attention and praise for their work.

Your imagery delivers the message of the fine line between despair and hope... I enjoyed the visual as well as the emotion it represents. :) Pailette
